1972 Map of Lost River

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Milk River meanders across this northern Montana landscape, cutting a deep trench through the undulating plains along the international border. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the terrain shows a sparse but functional infrastructure focused on water management and agricultural storage. The confluence of the Lost River with the larger waterway is a central feature, supported by a Gaging Sta downstream to monitor the river's flow through this arid region. Man-made additions like Storage Bins and an isolated Well suggest a landscape dedicated to dryland ranching or grain production, where water sources and storage points were critical to local survival. This map clearly delineates the administrative intersection of Alberta and Montana, marking the boundary between Medicine Hat District and Hill County.
