2011 Map of Four Horns Lake

About this map

Four Horns Lake dominates this northern Montana landscape, where the management of water resources is etched into the terrain via the Four Horns Dam and the Four Horns Outlet Canal. The area is characterized by a series of distinct geographic depressions or coulees, including Rocky Ridge Coulee, Jackson Coulee, and Tail Feather Coulee, which serve as natural drainages toward the winding course of Blacktail Creek. This 2011 survey documents a relatively open territory navigated by a network of trails, most notably the Rocky Ridge Trl and the 4 Horns Lake Trl. The naming conventions of the features suggest a landscape shaped by local heritage and topographical markers, providing a clear record of the hydrography and primitive road systems in Glacier County during the early 21st century.
