2011 Map of Wetzel

About this map

The confluence of prairie hydrology and ranching infrastructure defines this 2011 survey of Wetzel in Glacier County. The landscape is structured by the divergent branches of the Milk River, including the Middle Fork, Dry Fork, and South Fork. Significant water management is evident at Pistol Bullet Dam, which sits just south of Davis Coulee. The transportation network reflects the remote, utilitarian nature of the region, anchored by historical pathways such as Whiskey Gap Rd and Mcgovern Trl. This area illustrates the persistence of wide-open ranchland in northern Montana, where named routes like Burd Ranch Rd and Saebo Ranch Rd indicate long-standing land holdings. The mapping of Livermore Truck Trl and Livermore Creek Rd near Livermore Creek further highlights the local reliance on established backcountry access for livestock and land management.
