About this map

Wild Horse Lake dominates this northern frontier landscape in Hill County, Montana, stretching across the international boundary with Canada. The lake bed is characterized by ephemeral water patterns and expansive wetlands typical of the high plains, where the Montana border meets the Alberta line. This late-stage survey reflects the contemporary geographic layout of the region, emphasizing the sparse but critical transportation network that serves the ranching and agricultural lands south of the border.

Key arteries like the Wild Horse Trl and Base Rd provide the primary access through the sections of Township 37 North, Range 12 East and Township 36 North, Range 12 East. The map provides a precise view of the public land survey system grid, documenting the relationship between modern roadway alignments and the historic township and range divisions that have defined this remote portion of the northern plains for over a century.
