About this map

The Canada United States international border defines the northern edge of this high-plains landscape, where the Blackfeet Indian Reservation Boundary meets the Montana-Alberta line. The terrain is marked by the seasonal drainage of Pearsons Coulee and East Big Rock Coulee, feeding toward the winding path of the Red River. Amidst this open country, the map reveals the scattered infrastructure of the regional energy economy, with several Oil Wells and a solitary Oil Well punctuating the grid. Evidence of local community and industry appears at the Red River Sch and a nearby Gravel Pit. This survey captures a specific moment in the late 1960s when the land was utilized for both tribal resource management and petroleum extraction along the northern frontier.
