2014 Map of Pike Lake

About this map

Babb serves as the primary settlement hub in this northern Montana landscape, situated along the Us-89 corridor just south of the international border. The territory is defined by a sophisticated water management network, most notably the Saint Mary Canal, which skirts the eastern edges of Swiftcurrent Ridge to redirect water toward the plains. To the north, Pike Lake and the winding Saint Mary River provide critical focal points for the region's hydrography. The map details a transition from the elevated peaks of Sandy Ridge and Crusher Hill in the west down toward the river valley. Local travel is facilitated by a network of secondary routes including Pike Lake Rd, Camp Nine Rd, and Moccasin Flat Rd, which connect remote homesteads and ranching areas to the main thoroughfares of MT-17 and Us-89.
