About this map

The small settlement of Kiowa serves as a central point in this high-plains landscape, situated where the South Fork of the Milk River Bridge carries travelers over the water. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations and ridges that separate various drainages, including Cut Bank Ridge and the soaring Mad Wolf Mountain. To the south, the expansive Lower Two Medicine Reservoir sits below Two Medicine Ridge, indicating the significance of water management in this part of Glacier County.

Local history is preserved at the Schildt Cemetery, located near the North Fork Cut Bank Creek. The map details the complex hydrography of the region, tracing Lake Creek and its path through the foothills toward the South Fork Cut Bank Creek. Landmarks such as Red Blanket Butte and Looking Glass Hill provide distinct navigational points for those studying the physical geography of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation and the approach to the mountains.
