2014 Map of Benton Lake West

About this map

Benton Lake occupies the eastern edge of this landscape where the boundaries of Cascade, Teton, and Chouteau counties converge. The terrain is defined by a sparse network of section-line roads and the seasonal drainage of Lake Cr, reflecting the vast, open character of north-central Montana. The map provides a look at the rural infrastructure in the early 21st century, where large-scale land divisions and established family-named routes such as Gunderson Rd, Stuckey Rd, and Hevron Rd illustrate the persistent agrarian layout of the region. This 2014 survey documents the enduring spatial organization of the Great Plains, where long stretches of road like Wilson Rd and Love Rd connect isolated townships. Researchers can trace the intersection of historical township lines, including T22N R2E and T23N R2E, across a landscape largely untouched by modern urbanization.
