About this map

Turtle Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this region in Rolette County, characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The settlement of Belcourt serves as a primary focal point along the western edge, while the town of Rolla occupies the northeastern corner. This terrain is defined by its numerous small water bodies, including Belcourt Lake, Syrian Lake, and Martin Lake, which are interspersed among the undulating elevations of the plateau.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through landmarks such as Saint Paul Cem near the northern border and Maryville Cem to the southwest. The infrastructure reveals a systematic grid of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia RD 7 and Bia RD 4, alongside localized names like Houle School Rd and the residential area of Green Acres. This map illustrates the intersection of community planning and a unique physical geography that has long shaped life on the plains.
