2020 Map of McCarters Lake

About this map

Mc Carters Lake and the smaller McCarter Lake define the lower basin of this Toole County landscape, where the seasonal waters of Willow Creek and Willow Cr drain through the northern plains. This area is characterized by the intersection of remote rural infrastructure and the vast open drainage systems typical of northern Montana. The presence of Hellinger Airport near Hellinger Rd indicates a reliance on small-scale aviation for connectivity in this high-plains environment. Local transit is facilitated by a grid of named routes like Green Hill School Rd, Jap Evans Rd, and Howard Rd, which provide access to private agricultural holdings. The map also records significant topographical features such as Cameron Coulee and Kinyon Coulee, reflecting a landscape carved by intermittent water flow and erosion, including the northern Trail Cr.
