1984 Map of Martin Lake

About this map

Martin Lake sits as the central geographic feature in this north-central Montana landscape within Phillips County. This 1984 provisional survey captures the intricate topographical details of the basin surrounding the lake, showcasing a complex system of drainage patterns and subtle elevation changes typical of the northern plains. While largely a natural study of the terrain, the map meticulously records the local road network and section lines that define land ownership and access in this part of the state. The specialized contour intervals highlight the depressions and small rises that characterize the area around the water body, providing a clear picture of the hydrological environment before more recent landscape modifications.
