2014 Map of Bennett Lake

About this map

Scandia Lutheran Church Cem stands as a central landmark in this high plains landscape of Phillips County, where long-established section lines and rural routes define the township grid. The terrain is characterized by ephemeral drainage patterns and depressions, including the notable Solberg Slough and the wide, arid expanse of Alkali Flat. Water management and seasonal flow are central to the geography here, traced through features like Black Coulee, Brown Coulee, and the namesake Bennett Lake. Local travel follows a network of named connectors such as Sun Prairie Rd and Regina Rd, which link isolated homesteads and grazing lands. This 2014 survey documents the enduring spatial organization of Montana’s ranching country, where small community anchors like the Scandia cemetery remain vital points of reference amidst the vast open sections.
