2024 Map of Kipp Lake

About this map

Willow Creek meanders through the central northern plains of this Montana landscape, defining the local drainage system alongside its tributary, Flatiron Creek. The terrain is characterized by the expansive glacial topography of the high plains, where subtle elevation changes dictate the flow of water across the open range. The settlement of Blackfoot and the junction at Meriwether serve as primary points of orientation, connected by a network of rural routes including the Blackfoot Cutoff and Labreches Rd. This modern survey reveals the persistent structure of township and range surveying, with boundaries for t33n r10w, t33n r9w, t32n r10w, and t32n r9w overlying a landscape where the natural hydrology of the creek beds remains the most prominent geographic feature. The proximity to Kipp Lake Rd suggests the local importance of the nearby namesake water body just south of these grazing lands.
