1968 Map of Glacier Colony

About this map

Glacier Colony sits on the high plains of northern Montana, marking a unique communal settlement pattern in a landscape otherwise defined by resource extraction and seasonal water. The terrain is deeply inscribed by a series of drainage features, including Healy Coulee, Snake Coulee, and Old Maids Coulee, which cut through the level surface toward lower elevations. This era of the late 1960s shows a significant concentration of Gas Wells and Oil Wells scattered across the township lines, particularly around the northern reaches of Hay Lake.
