2014 Map of Lone Tree Lake

About this map

Comertown sits in the corner of northeastern Montana, just south of the Canadian border in Sheridan County. This prairie landscape is defined by the unique glaciated pothole topography of the Missouri Plateau, where numerous depressions form seasonal water bodies like Widgeon Slough, Larson Slough, and Lone Tree Lake. The settlement patterns here follow a strict grid of section lines, reflected in the straight paths of Ueland Rd and N Star Rd. For those researching local families and early pioneers of the High Line, the map highlights significant burial sites including Comertown Cem, Lone Tree Cem, and Our Saviors Cem. The presence of these widely spaced cemeteries and the small cluster at Comertown illustrates the sparse but persistent ranching and farming community that has long occupied this remote stretch of the Great Plains.
