2024 Map of Ackley Lake

About this map

Ackley Lake is the focal point of this Judith Basin survey, illustrating a landscape defined by significant water management and ranching infrastructure. The Ackley Lake Feeder Canal and Ackley Lake Outlet Canal demonstrate the sophisticated irrigation network supporting agriculture in this part of Montana. To the north, the Judith River meanders through the terrain, with historical context provided by the Philbrook Cem located along Hobson Philbrook Rd. The southern portion of the map transitions into more dramatic topography, characterized by deep drainage features like Big Coulee and Hauck Coulee. This area is crisscrossed by a network of local routes such as Bellview Rd and Lakeview Dr, which connect the scattered homesteads and ranches surrounding the central reservoir.
