About this map

The international boundary between Canada and the United States defines the northern edge of this high-plains landscape in Glacier County. The terrain is characterized by the winding course of the Red River, which meanders through a series of sections including those marked by Pearsons Coulee and the localized depression of Lukins Lake. A structured grid of rural roads serves the agricultural allotments here, reflecting the persistent land-use patterns of the northern Montana borderlands. These corridors, such as Losing Rd, Santa Rita N, and Fred Berkram Rd, connect isolated farmsteads across the township blocks. The map reveals the hydrology of the region through numerous small wetlands and ephemeral basins that dot the landscape between Altenburg Rd and Bilstad Rd, illustrating the drainage challenges and environmental character of this remote territory near the 49th parallel.
