2011 Map of Lost River

About this map

The Milk River meanders through this portion of Hill County along the Montana-Alberta border, defining the northern landscape where it meets the Lost River. This 2011 survey captures a sparsely populated region of the High Plains, where the drainage of Sahara Coulee cuts through the terrain south of the river valley. The infrastructure is characterized by a precise grid of rural routes, including Hingham Rd and a primary County Hwy, which facilitate travel across the wide agricultural expanses and seasonal watercourses. The map provides a clear record of the intersection between international border geography and the essential water resources that have historically dictated land use in this northern borderland.
