2014 Map of Flag Butte

About this map

Edwards Crossing sits at the center of this high plains landscape, where the Two Medicine River meanders across the border of Glacier and Pondera counties. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure, including the N Canal, M Canal, and Two M Canal, which support agriculture in an otherwise arid environment. To the southwest, the prominent elevation of Flag Butte overlooks the basin, while Alkali Lake provides a significant hydrological marker in the southern reaches of the survey area. The presence of the Old Valley Hwy in the north indicates long-established transit corridors through this part of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation and its surrounding ranchlands.
