1972 Map of Wild Horse Lake West

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Wild Horse Lake dominates this high plains landscape at the international boundary between Canada and the United States. The lake itself is noted as a massive depression, a characteristic feature of this arid borderlands region in Hill County. Historically significant routes traverse the prairie, including the Wild Horse Trail and the Amos Trail, which suggest the movement of livestock or goods across the open range. The presence of numerous Well sites and isolated storage bins reflects the area's reliance on groundwater and dryland agriculture during the early 1970s. This survey records a remote segment of the Montana and Alberta border, where the land-use patterns are dictated by the underlying topography and the availability of water in a vast, open territory.
