About this map

The Two Medicine River carves a winding path across this portion of Glacier County, defining a landscape marked by ranching and traditional transit routes. At the heart of this area is the Magee Ranch, situated near the confluence of local waterways where the plains meet the rising drainages. The hydrology is dominated by the river and its southern tributary, Little Badger Creek, while Magee Lake and Spring Creek dot the northern terrain.

A network of local roads, such as Heart Butte Rd and Magee Lake Rd, reveals the enduring ranching layout of the region. Distinctive family-named thoroughfares like Jerry Show West Rd and Joe Show Rd suggest a deep-seated genealogical history tied to specific land allotments and homesteads. This 2011 survey illustrates the continued importance of these isolated ranches and the irrigation-focused infrastructure represented by Canal Rd.
