2020 Map of Benton Lake East

About this map

Benton Lake dominates the central and southern portions of this Montana landscape, where the waters are divided by the sectional grid lines of the Public Land Survey System. The map documents the boundary between Chouteau Co and Cascade Co, illustrating how these administrative lines intersect with the natural hydrology of the region. A network of rural routes, including the prominent north-south Bootlegger Trl, provides access to the surrounding townships. The terrain is characterized by a high-plains character with subtle elevation changes, marked by local roads such as 8th Rd Ne and Wilson Rd that follow the established section lines of t23n r3e and t22n r4e. This contemporary survey reflects the enduring structure of Montana's agricultural and wetland landscapes.
