2024 Map of Martin Lake

About this map

Loring Colony serves as a central point of human settlement within this Phillips County landscape, characterized by a series of distinct drainage patterns and water bodies. The geography is defined by numerous coulees, including Barton Coulee, Martin Lake Coulee, and Lake Coulee, which channel moisture across the terrain toward Martin Lake and Little Cottonwood Creek. For researchers and family historians, the presence of the Loring Colony Cem and the more isolated Hermanson Cem offers specific points of genealogical interest. Local transport is represented by the intersection of rural routes such as Turner Cutacross Rd and Fanning Hill Rd, which traverse the open country between the established colony and the surrounding agricultural sections.
