2017 Map of Coalridge

About this map

Coalridge occupies a central position within this Sheridan County landscape, where the high plains of northeastern Montana are defined by a grid of rural section lines and local thoroughfares. The terrain is shaped by the drainage of Lake Cr, which flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle toward Clear Lake. This 2017 survey reveals a persistent pattern of land use where transportation routes often follow old township and range boundaries, including Coalridge Hwy and Hwy 516. Local heritage is reflected in specific road names such as Brotherhood Hall Rd, Emmaus Rd, and Longfellow Rd, suggesting the historical locations of community gathering points and family homesteads. The map provides a clear view of the sparse, organized settlement typical of the region, anchored by the namesake locality of Coalridge.
