2014 Map of Hornbeck Lake

About this map

Hornbeck Lake and Duck Lake anchor this High Plains landscape in northern Montana, where the terrain is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of Savoy Cr. The map illustrates a strictly rural environment dominated by the Public Land Survey System, with the land meticulously divided into sections across townships T33N, T34N, and T35N. Transportation in this part of Blaine County relies on a network of named section-line roads and trails, such as Violet Rd, Maloney Trail Rd, and Wayne Creek Rd, which provide access to the remote coulees and prairie. The prominent diagonal of MT-241 cuts across the gridded landscape, serving as the primary corridor through the area. Notable geological depressions like Lone Tree Coulee and the headwaters of E Savoy Cr and W Savoy Cr reveal the natural water-flow paths that historically dictated ranching and settlement boundaries in this northern frontier region.
