About this map

Lake Seventeen sits at the heart of this high plains landscape in Blaine County, characterized by significant elevation changes and seasonal watercourses. The terrain is defined by dramatic landforms such as Putnam Ridge to the north and the prominent Spirit Woman Butte in the southwest, reflecting the traditional nomenclature of the region. The drainage patterns of Duck Creek and Little Peoples Creek carve through the prairie, illustrating the natural flow towards lower basins.

Land use and topography are further marked by the transitional area between the steep Warneke Coulee and the more level expanse of Warneke Flat. This survey provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System grid across townships t27n r22e and t27n r23e, showing how the modern geographic framework overlays this indigenous-named landscape. The scarcity of human structures emphasizes the open, rural nature of the Montana interior.
