2011 Map of Lonesome Lake

About this map

Lonesome Lake anchors the southern portion of this Hill County landscape, where the seasonal drainage of the high plains is marked by distinctive coulees. The map details a sparse network of section lines and gravel access routes, including N Lonesome Lake Rd and Ihmsen Well Rd, reflecting the large-scale ranching and agricultural patterns of northern Montana in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by dry watercourses such as Twelvemile Coulee and Barneys Coulee, which trace the slow movement of water across this open country. This survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides an exact record of property boundaries and rural infrastructure, from remote wells to the minor transit corridors like Chohill Rd that link these isolated homesteads and pastures.
