Milk River (Alberta–Montana)
The Milk River (Assiniboine: ''Asą́bi wakpá, Wakpá jukʾána'' ) is a tributary of the Missouri River, long, in the United States state of Montana and the Canadian province of Alberta. Rising in the Rocky Mountains, the river drains a sparsely populated, semi-arid watershed of , ending just east of Fort Peck, Montana.
==Geography==
It is formed in Glacier County in northwestern Montana, north of Browning, Montana, by the confluence of its South and Middle forks. The long South Fork and long Middle Fork both rise in the Rocky Mountains just east of Glacier National Park, in the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. Much of the water in the North Fork is diverted from the St. Mary River through a canal and inverted siphon.
The main stream flows east-northeast into southern Alberta, where it is joined by the North Fork of the Milk River, from there It flows past the town of Milk River and Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park, then turns southeast into Montana, running east along the north side of the Sweetgrass Hills, turning south, passing through the Fresno Dam, then east past Havre and along the north side of the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation. Near Malta, it turns north, then southeast, flowing past Glasgow and joining the Missouri in Valley County, Montana, downstream from Fort Peck Dam.〔
The Milk is the northernmost major tributary of the Missouri, and thus represents the rough northern extent of the Mississippi watershed. The small area drained by the Milk River in southern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan is one of three areas in Canada that drain into the Gulf of Mexico (The others are the Big Muddy Creek and Poplar River watersheds which extend into Canada in Saskatchewan.)
