About this map

The Blackfeet Indian Reservation Boundary runs through the western edge of this 1960s landscape, marking a clear divide in land use and ownership in Glacier County. This region is defined by its extensive energy infrastructure, specifically the development of an Oil Field that spans across the prairie. The topography is dominated by the prominent elevation of Headlight Butte, which serves as a central landmark for the area. Scattered across the grid of section lines are numerous Oil Wells, Gas Wells, and supporting facilities like a Pumping Sta and a Radio Tower. In the southern portion of the sheet, Whetstone Camp sits near a Substa, providing a rare point of named habitation amidst the industrial network of a Pipeline and access roads that crisscross the plains.
