2020 Map of Indian Lake

About this map

Indian Lake sits at the northwestern edge of this Phillips County landscape, a region defined by complex drainage patterns and water management features. The terrain is marked by prominent natural coulees, including Cottonwood Coulee, Mickey Coulee, and Jones Coulee, which channel seasonal runoff toward the larger creek systems. Water control is a primary feature of the local geography, evidenced by the Fowler Reservoir and Jones Reservoir, alongside industrial markers like the Martin Retaining Pit and Halfway Retaining Pit. To the east, the map reaches the shoreline of Fort Peck Lake, where the intricate network of Fourchette Cr and Telegraph Cr eventually terminates. This 2020 survey illustrates the remote character of north-central Montana, where infrastructure is limited to routes like Sun Prairie Rd and the township and range lines that grid the open plains.
