Map of the Area

Any maps and map views are for general information only. Do not rely on them for navigation or to determine legal boundaries.

Other Information

Located on and south of Highway 42, it appears this PNT has been given over to a grazing lease. Parcels of land to the east and south are similarly leased. Various conservancy groups (e.g. Ducks Unlimited) own land near to this PNT [1].

No Pines, Maybe Ghosts. Nearby Pine Lake is drained by Ghostpine Creek and is replenished from run off and aquifers [2]. The name is a shortened form from Ghostpine. This name was given to the area after a battle between the Cree and Blackfoot. Since then, the area is thought to be haunted. Technically the name should have been ‘Ghost-spruce’ as pine was a mis-translation of the Cree word for spruce [3].
