About this map

The international boundary between the United States and Canada defines the northern edge of this high plains landscape, where Montana and Saskatchewan meet. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages, most notably Antelope Coulee, Woodpile Coulee, and Hay Coulee, which carve through the plateau toward the meandering Lodge Creek in the southwest.

Evidence of precise geodetic surveying is visible at Havre North Base and Kirk South Base, marking the scientific efforts of the International Boundary Commission. The sparse human footprint in this northern portion of Hill County is limited to a few isolated features like a Well and a Gaging Sta, reflecting a landscape primarily shaped by cattle ranching and natural water systems rather than dense settlement.
