About this map

Glacier Colony sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the western edge of a significant north-south water system. This modern topographic survey reveals a series of expansive water bodies, including the prominent Hay Lake and the smaller Grassy Lake, which dictate the local terrain and settlement patterns. The map captures the agricultural and communal structure of the area, defined by a sparse but deliberate network of local roads such as Tipville Rd and Berger Rd.

The geography is further characterized by distinct drainage features known as coulees. These topographical depressions, including Old Maids Coulee and Sand Coulee, provide a clear picture of how water moves through the prairie toward Healy Coulee in the southeast. The boundary between Glacier Co and Toole Co bisects the eastern portion of the sheet, marking a transition in jurisdictional land management across this northern Montana landscape.
