About this map

Holy Family Mission stands as a focal point of cultural and community history in this part of Glacier County, situated near the northern banks where the Two Medicine River winds through the landscape. This 2011 survey reveals a territory defined by its watercourses and traditional pathways, with the Piegan settlement and its surrounding trail network, such as the Piegan Trl and Wetzel Trl, illustrating the enduring connectivity of the region.

The presence of the Holy Family Mission Cemetery and Four Horns Cemetery provides essential documentation for genealogists and local historians, anchoring family lineages to specific points in the terrain. The landscape is further characterized by dramatic topographical features like Whitecalf Coulee, Kipps Coulee, and Rocky Ridge Coulee, while the Piegan Canal and Badger Creek underscore the importance of water management and natural drainage in this northern Montana environment.
