About this map

Wild Horse Lake dominates the upper landscape of this Hill County survey, straddling the international boundary with the United States of America. The terrain is characterized by the seasonal expanse of the lake and its surrounding wetlands, fed by the winding course of Sage Creek as it enters from the west. This high-plains geography reflects a sparsely settled environment where transport is defined by long-established routes and modern access points.

The historical legacy of the region is etched into the landscape via the Wild Horse Trl, which cuts through the southern sections. This trail, alongside the grid-defining Base Rd, illustrates the intersection of traditional movement patterns and the systematic Public Land Survey System. The area is divided into several townships, including t37n r13e and t36n r12e, highlighting the organized agricultural and grazing divisions typical of the Montana borderlands.
