About this map

Martin serves as the focal point of this Bennett County landscape, situated at the crossroads of early 1980s prairie life. The town layout reveals a concentrated community footprint including a High Sch and the local Cem, alongside utility infrastructure like the Municipal Airport and Radio Tower. The geography is defined by its water management and conservation, with the Little White River winding through the terrain toward the Lacreek National Wildlife Refuge and the Little White River Reservoir.

Conservation and recreation are prominent, as evidenced by the State Recreation Area and the unique naming of local hydrology, such as Bear-in-the-Lodge Creek and Hair Creek. Outside the developed center, the land is largely open, marked by intermittent water bodies like Deadmans Lake and extractive sites such as the Gravel Pit, reflecting an economy and lifestyle tied to the High Plains environment.
