2014 Map of Horse Lake

About this map

Starr School stands as a focal point of human settlement in this high-plains landscape, where the continental divide's waters begin their long journeys. The terrain is defined by the prominent Milk River Ridge and a complex network of seasonal drainages, including the headwaters of the S Fork Milk River and the branching forks of Greasewood Creek. A significant irrigation infrastructure is visible via the Cut Bank Greasewood Canal, reflecting the region's reliance on managed water systems. The map captures a transition between the elevated ridge country and lower basins containing Horse Lake and Toad Lake. Transportation through this territory is marked by historic routes like McDonald Rd and the Arnoux Trl, which follow the natural contours of the coulees and creek beds.
