2011 Map of Pike Lake

About this map

The international boundary bisects this northern landscape, where the Port of Piegan serves as a critical point of entry between Montana and Alberta. The area is defined by its sophisticated water management systems, notably the Saint Mary Canal which winds through the terrain alongside the Saint Mary River. This infrastructure reflects the complex history of cross-border water rights and irrigation in the High Plains. To the west, the topography rises toward Crusher Hill and Sandy Ridge, overlooking a network of drainages including Roberts Creek and Kennedy Creek. Further north, Pike Lake and the Staples Dam mark the Canadian portion of the quadrangle, while Chief Mountain Junction provides a terrestrial navigational hub for those traveling through this borderland region.
