From the above NY Times article:
What kind of border dispute could Hawaii have been involved in?

Whether an island is part of the state or under direct federal control?

Because Lincoln is nowhere near Alberta or any international borders at all, is why not. It’s a very nice little town in a very nice-looking region, which is how you know: Most of the parts of Montana near Alberta are pretty flat.

Yeah, I noticed the mistake after the edit window expired. But since I clearly said “Lincoln County” both in that same post and in my next post, I figured anyone familiar with Montana would know what I meant (Lincoln County, not town of Lincoln), and it seemed unlikely anyone else would care. I apologize for the confusion. And the part of Alberta that borders Lincoln County is not flat, it’s pretty much as mountainous as Montana gets, outside of Glacier Park.
