About this map

Letz Lake sits at the center of this 2017 survey, surrounded by the distinctive drainage patterns of north-central Montana. The landscape is characterized by numerous dry coulees, including Pondera Coulee and Wilcox Coulee, which weave through the agricultural sections of Pondera County. To the northwest, the Dry Fork Marias River cuts across the corner of the map, while long, straight section-line roads like Sollid Rd and Furlough Rd define the local transportation network.

Local history and community legacy are preserved in the naming of rural routes such as Dusell School Rd and Liberty School Rd, pointing toward former centers of education in this farming region. The prevalence of features named for local families or early settlers, such as Oliver Coulee and Favot Coulee, provides a map of the area's development. Other significant landmarks include Ferguson Coulee and the well-defined Homestead Rd, which speaks to the era of land claims and early settlement in the Montana plains.
