2014 Map of Martin Lake

About this map

Loring Colony serves as a central anchor in this northern Phillips County landscape, situated amidst a complex drainage network characteristic of the high plains. The topography is defined by numerous coulees, such as Barton Coulee and Martin Lake Coulee, which channel seasonal water toward Martin Lake and the southeastern Lake Coulee. This 2014 survey reveals a transition in land use, where the expansive tracts of the Public Land Survey System, including t35n r29e and t36n r29e, are bisected by local transportation routes like Turner Cutacross Rd and Lovejoy Rd. For genealogists, the Hermanson Cem near the southern margin provides a specific point of local historical interest, while the presence of Little Cottonwood Cr indicates the natural water sources that have long shaped ranching and settlement patterns in this region of Montana.
