About this map

Fort Logan serves as the focal point of this Meagher County landscape, situated where the Smith River meets the drainages of Camas Cr and Elk Cr. The topography is defined by the transition from the Little Belt Mountains in the northeast toward the varied benchlands and gulches to the west. Water management is a visible priority in this ranching country, evidenced by several significant impoundments including Keep Cool Reservoir, Ayers Reservoir, and Doggett Reservoir.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Kinyon Cem located east of the settlement, while the name Soldiers Lake provides a geographic nod to the area's military heritage. The road network, including Lingshire Rd and Fort Logan Rd, follows the natural contours carved by Benton Gulch and Thomas Cr, illustrating how the drainage patterns of the upper Missouri River watershed have dictated travel and settlement in central Montana.
