2014 Map of Benton Lake East

About this map

Benton Lake dominates the southern half of this landscape, its expansive waters and marshes filling the lowlands north of Great Falls. This 2014 survey illustrates the complex water management and access routes within the Benton Lake Rd area, where a grid of local thoroughfares such as Paulsen Rd and Anderson Rd provides access to the high plains surrounding the water. The map traces the political boundary where Chouteau Co and Cascade Co meet, a line cutting through the north of the lake basin. Significant local routes like the historic Bootlegger Trl run north-south through the eastern sections, while Wilson Rd and Lower Marsh Dr define the immediate shoreline and wetlands, essential for understanding the hydrological and agricultural patterns of this prairie region.
