About this map

Gunsight serves as the primary landmark in this 2014 study of the northern Montana plains. The landscape is defined by the intricate drainage systems and seasonal waterways characteristic of Glacier County, most notably the meandering course of Cut Bank Creek and the deep incisions of South Fork Little Rock Coulee, Little Rock Coulee, and Big Rock Coulee. These features illustrate the natural erosion patterns of the high prairie.

Agricultural and water management infrastructure is evident through irrigation features like Q Lateral, which feeds into a series of localized catchments including Conway Lake, Hope Lake, and Allison Lake. A network of rural roads, such as Ed Williams Rd and Henderson Rd, provides access across the township lines, marking the intersection of public land surveys and private property in this expansive territory near the Rocky Mountain Front.
