About this map

Mitten Lake and the surrounding hydrological network define this landscape in Glacier County, where a complex system of ponds and drainage basins feeds into several significant waterways. The area is marked by the branching paths of Badger Creek and Little Badger Creek to the north, while the southern reaches are shaped by the North Fork Whitetail Creek and the curiously named Killem Quick Creek.

Transport through this terrain relies on a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes and named trails that suggest long-standing patterns of movement across the Mowitch Basin. Prominent thoroughfares like Heart Butte Rd intersect with local paths such as Spotted Eagle Trl and Wells Trl, providing access to the shorelines of Horn Lake and Twin Lakes. This 2011 survey records the intersection of modern road infrastructure with traditional naming conventions in the Montana high country.
