choteau basin countries united states max length about 70 miles 110 km max width 20 miles 32 km surface area varied surface elevation 3 900 m 12 800 ft references 1 lake cut bank was a glacial lake formed during the late pleistocene along the missouri and sun rivers after the laurentide ice sheet retreated water melting off the glacier accumulated between the rocky mountinas and the ice sheet the lake drained along the front of the ice sheet eastward towards the judith river and the missouri river the front of the keewatin ice sheet completely blocked the valley of cut bank creek so that for 20 miles 32 km the ice dam was bordered by the water of an extensive lake which has been designated glacial lake cut bank 1 it is defined by the granitic pebbles and boulders on top of the hills southeast of cut bank and are present at several places in the basin farther north and west all below 4 000 feet 1 200 m the pebbles were deposited from icebergs floating on the lake the lake bottom is identified by the laminated silts over the flatter parts of the basin the silts are up to 30 feet 9 1 m as seen in some of the coulees additionally stratified sand and gravel are visible in the basin there is no defined shoreline the lake has been mapped below 3 900 feet 1 200 m contour with shore like slopes between 3 900 and 4 000 feet 1 200 and 1 200 m the carlow flat shows evidence of being submerged part of the time about 8 metres 0 0080 km southwest of cut bank the same granite pebbles are found at 4 050 feet 1 230 m this is taken as the maximum and first lake level the lake drained southward along the ice front later the water fell to 3 900 feet 1 200 m and flowed through the sag occupied by ponds 1 the inner gorge of cut bank creek formed after the glacial lake drained the lake received runoff from the adjacent land area and from the north front of the two medicine glacier for over 50 miles 80 km squaw buttes southwest of cut bank westward to the mountains cut bank glacier and the south fork of the milk river drained into lake cut bank 1 water from the st mary glacier and from both the mountain glaciers and the keewatin ice sheet north of the international boundary drained into the south fork of the milk river and then into glacial lake cut bank the glacial river channel is not abandoned it runs form the milk river northeast of landslide butte to the head of rocky coulee 1 by assuming that each layer of the laminated clay deposited in this lake is a varve representing one season s deposition the longevity of the lake could be counted 1 map of
