2011 Map of Lovejoy

About this map

Lovejoy is the primary settlement in this sparsely populated stretch of Phillips County, Montana, situated in a landscape defined by the winding course of Little Cottonwood Creek. The creek meanders across the map from northwest to southeast, joined in the lower corner by Cottonwood Creek. Human impact on the terrain is focused on water management and grazing, evidenced by the Cottonwood Grazing Number 4 Dam located in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Aside from the small cluster at Lovejoy, the area is serviced by a limited road network, including the prominent Fanning Hill Rd which traverses the lower terrain. The map depicts a late-period ranching environment where large-scale land use and watershed features are the primary landmarks for local navigation and land management.
