About this map

Lothair sits along the northern edge of this Liberty County landscape, positioned where the Burlington Northern line tracks across the high plains. The settlement's proximity to an Old Railroad Grade indicates a shifting infrastructure in the mid-20th century. To the south, the deep, branching drainages of Eagle Creek and its many tributaries, such as Kolstad Coulee and Carter Coulee, carve through the terrain toward the massive Tiber Reservoir.

This reservoir, with a noted Elevation 2992, dominates the southern portion of the map, featuring a Boat Ramp and Picnic Area near its northern shore. The land is marked by isolated landmarks like a Radio Tower and Storage Bins, while a Cem near the town center provides a point of interest for genealogists. The complex network of coulees, including Arnst Coulee and Beebe Coulee, reveals the natural drainage patterns that define this part of the Missouri River Basin.
