2024 Map of Lonesome Lake

About this map

Lonesome Lake anchors the southern reaches of this landscape, where the border of Hill County meets Chouteau County in north-central Montana. The terrain is defined by the gradual transition of the plains, broken by natural drainage features like Twelvemile Coulee and Barneys Coulee. A sparse but essential network of rural transit lines provides access across the townships, including Box Elder Rd and Ihmsen Well Rd. This area reflects the expansive, low-density settlement patterns of the modern Big Sky country, where roads often follow Section and Township lines, such as those in t30n r11e and t29n r12e. The presence of Ft 115 and Rd 295 S suggests the continued importance of land management and agricultural access in this open prairie environment.
