2011 Map of Lone Tree Lake

About this map

Comertown sits at the southern edge of this Sheridan County landscape, where the prairie begins its transition toward the international border. The survey reveals a region defined by its reliance on water management and small rural hubs, centered around the eponymous Lone Tree Lake. Further north, McElroy appears as a small settlement point along the grid of section roads like North Star Rd and McElroy. This corner of Montana is dotted with small wetlands and depressions including Widgeon Slough and Larson Slough, while the Reed Number 1 Dam indicates local efforts to harness surface water in a semi-arid climate. Genealogists can trace family footprints across several burial sites, including Comertown Cemetery, Lone Tree Cemetery, and Our Saviors Cemetery, which remain as quiet landmarks in an area dominated by large-scale agricultural parcels.
