About this map

Lodge Creek winds through this northern borderland of Hill County, Montana, just south of the Canadian boundary. The landscape is defined by the natural drainage patterns of the High Plains, where seasonal waterways like Woodpile Coulee and Antelope Coulee carve into the prairie. A notable point of human engineering in this sparsely populated region is the StanleySteamer Dam, located along a bend in the creek. This survey illustrates the ranching-driven land use of the early 21st century, showing how water management remains central to the region's infrastructure and survival in the semi-arid environment.
