2011 Map of Glacier Colony

About this map

Glacier Colony sits at the heart of this high plains landscape in northern Montana, defined by a series of shallow glacial lakes and seasonal coulees. The communal settlement is positioned near the extensive waters of Hay Lake, while the surrounding terrain is marked by essential water management features like Long Lake Dam. This 2011 survey illustrates a specialized agricultural environment where a network of local roads, such as E Sweetgrass Rd and Hay Lake Rd, connects the colony to the surrounding prairie. The drainage patterns are clearly visible through names like Healy Coulee and Snake Coulee, which carve through the plains toward the south. The distribution of water bodies like Grassy Lake and Mud Lake highlights the specific hydrological challenges and resources of this region near the Canadian border.
