About this map

Martin Lake sits at the center of this northern Montana landscape, defined by a series of glacial erosional features and seasonal watercourses. The terrain is deeply inscribed by several distinct coulees, including Barton Coulee to the northwest and Martin Lake Coulee, which channel drainage toward the central basin. These geographical depressions, along with Dry Sag Coulee, create a complex network of relief across the high plains.

Evidence of early 21st-century rural infrastructure is visible through a grid of secondary routes such as Turner Cutacross Rd and Fanning Hill Rd. For those tracing local heritage, the Hermanson Cem serves as a significant site of genealogical interest. To the southwest, the wandering path of Little Cottonwood Cr provides a natural contrast to the straight section lines that divide the townships, illustrating the persistent relationship between natural hydrology and formal land surveying in Phillips County.
