1983 Map of Geddart Lake

About this map

The Poplar River meanders across this Roosevelt County landscape, defining the topography of the northern plains. This 1983 provisional survey highlights a rural environment where water management and industrial infrastructure are central to land use. Notable features like Geddart Lake and the drainage of Kirns Coulee suggest a reliance on seasonal and permanent water sources for the area's agricultural operations. The landscape is marked by the presence of a Pipe Line and clusters of Grain Bins and Tanks, indicating a specialized economy focused on storage and transport. The transition between t30n and t29n townships provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System as it was applied to the northeastern Montana prairie during the late twentieth century.
