2014 Map of Wild Horse Lake West

About this map

Wild Horse Lake dominates the upper half of this high plains landscape along the United States and Canada border in Hill County. The terrain is defined by the vast, stippled bed of the lake and a series of geometric sections typical of the Public Land Survey System, including t37n r12e and t36n r13e. The area is sparsely populated, with a functional network of gravel and improved roads providing the primary structure for the ranching or farming operations in this borderland. Notable thoroughfares include Mt-232, which runs north-south toward the international boundary, and Hi Grade Rd. This 2014 survey captures a moment of modern land management in Montana, showing a landscape that remains largely open and rural, centered on the drainage patterns and historical township divisions that have dictated local land use for generations.
