About this map

Sharp Lake and the winding course of Cut Bank Creek define this section of Glacier County, characterized by a complex network of coulees and flats. The landscape is marked by land-use patterns typical of the region, where ranching access roads like Finley Ranch Rd and 3 C Bar RD intersect with traditional routes such as the Blackfoot Cutoff and the Sharp Trl. Near the center of the sheet, the Nightshoot Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogical research and local history.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Boundary Cr and multiple forks of Greasewood Cr draining the area. To the south, the presence of Boarding School Rd and Yellow Wolf Rd hints at the institutional and cultural infrastructure of the landscape. The terrain itself is clearly delineated by features like Greasewood Flat, Hoodoo Coulee, and Trail Coulee, showing how the natural drainage has shaped movement and settlement in this portion of Montana.
