2024 Map of Kuester Lake

About this map

East Redwater Creek and its various tributaries carve through this undulating landscape along the boundary of Dawson and Richland Counties. The terrain is defined by the South Fork of the South Fork Lisk Creek at the southern edge, while the interior is punctuated by Wold Reservoir. This 2024 survey illustrates a largely open, rural ranching or agricultural environment, where the human footprint is primarily limited to section lines and local connectors like Co Rd 126 and Co 315. The drainage patterns suggest a complex topography of coulees and ridges that have historically influenced the movement of livestock and the placement of water management features in this part of Montana.
