About this map

Fox Lake dominates the central portion of this prairie landscape, serving as a primary hydrologic focal point for the surrounding drainage systems. The basin is fed by Fox Creek and the Middle Fork Fox Cr, which weave through the high plains of Richland County. This 2017 survey illustrates a land strictly organized by the Public Land Survey System, with a grid of section lines and county roads defining the movement across the terrain.

A network of local routes, including Co Rd 328 and Co Rd 125, provides access to the agricultural parcels surrounding the lake. Smaller waterways like E Fork Fox Cr and Fox Cr branch off toward the eastern boundaries, highlighting the importance of seasonal water management in this part of Montana. The map reflects a modern state of rural infrastructure where the natural drainage of the Fox Lake basin remains the defining geographic feature amidst the rectilinear human additions of roads and property boundaries.
