2011 Map of Wild Horse Lake West

About this map

Wild Horse Lake dominates this northern frontier along the Montana-Alberta border, where the high plains transition into the international boundary. The 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the specialized infrastructure of this remote arid landscape, featuring the Fuago Dam situated at the northern edge of the sheet. The area is defined by a sparse network of section-line roads and local routes including Hi Grade Rd and Simpson Rd, which serve the expansive agricultural and grazing lands. This map is particularly valuable for documenting the specific drainage and water management features of Hill County, reflecting the challenges of settlement and land use in the semi-arid northern plains.
