Oils - Rivers and StreamsMontana is blessed with tremendous water resources —ponds,lakes, streams, creeks, and rivers. From a promatory in Glacier National Park rivers flow in three directions. Those in the north flow to Canada and Hudson Bay. The western rivers feed into the Columbia, eventually to reach the Pacific. While on the east the waters stream to the Mississippi River, and eventually to the Gulf of Mexico. Throughout the state countless streams fill numberless lakes, which in turn feed the numerous surging rivers, the life-blood of the land. These tributaries are filled with gamefish and the streamsides and bordering lands are lushly watered. Wildlife of many kinds—elk, deer, buffalo, antelope, moose and numerous birds—flourish and thrive. |
