2014 Map of Kiowa

About this map

Glacier National Park defines the western edge of this landscape, where the high peaks of Mad Wolf Mtn, Basin Mtn, and Spot Mtn rise above the foothills. The settlement of Kiowa sits at the junction of MT-49 and Us-89, serving as a gateway to the mountains. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological divides, including Milk River Ridge and Cut Bank Ridge, which separate the headwaters of several major prairie-bound streams. Along the eastern slopes, the Schildt Cem and early access routes like Starr School Rd and Racine Basin Rd indicate the area's transition from the protected alpine wilderness to the grazing lands and local communities of the Blackfeet Reservation. Engineering landmarks such as the South Fork of Cut Bank Creek Bridge illustrate the infrastructure required to navigate this drainage-rich environment.
