About this map

The Milk River carves a winding path through this high prairie landscape along the northern edge of Glacier Co, where the Blackfeet Indian Reservation meets the international border. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain is defined by dramatic rises like Eagle Point and the namesake Landslide Butte, illustrating the stark topography of the northern Montana plains.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is sparsely distributed across the townships, including an Oil Well and a Gravel Pit. The map captures the remote boundary where the Canada United States line separates Montana from Alberta, marked by a systematic network of section lines and isolated landmarks such as a Radio Facility. Natural water sources, including a Spring near the butte, highlight the vital resources for ranching and land use in this borderland region.
