2020 Map of Dry Lake

About this map

The Milk River carves through the northeastern corner of this Hill County landscape, a region defined by its distinct drainage systems known as coulees. These deep, dry channels, including Archie Coulee and Chain of Lakes Coulee, illustrate the erosional patterns of the northern Montana plains. The presence of Dry Lake and the nearby Dry Lake Coulee suggest a seasonally variable hydrology typical of this high-prairie environment, where water often collects in shallow basins and alkaline flats like Alkali Lakes Coulee. Rural connectivity is established by the grid-aligned section roads and the notable Kremlin High Grade Rd, reflecting the large-scale agricultural and ranching layout of the territory. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, such as t34n r12e, which govern the spatial organization of these expansive Montana rangelands.
