1968 Map of Fitzpatrick Lake

About this map

The Canada United States international border defines the northern edge of this late-1960s survey, marking a stark geopolitical line across a landscape dominated by resource extraction. The region is characterized by an extensive Oil Field, where numerous Oil Wells and a Pumping Sta indicate the industrial activity prevalent in this part of Toole and Glacier counties. Water features provide the primary orientation points in the undulating terrain, including the meandering Red Coulee River and the smaller Red Creek in the north. To the south, a series of basins hold Fitzpatrick Lake, Alkali Lake, and Grassy Lake. This map captures the intersection of natural drainage systems like Fitzpatrick Coulee with the rigid, surveyed boundaries of the Lethbridge District and the Montana-Alberta line.
