2014 Map of McLaren Reservoir

About this map

McLaren Reservoir and Holm Reservoir are the primary focal points of this arid northern Montana landscape, situated near the Canadian border. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Lodge Creek and its seasonal tributaries, which carve distinct geological features like Hay Coulee and Link Coulee through the prairie. This 2014 survey documents a sparsely populated ranching region where movement is dictated by a network of rural routes, including Elloam Rd and Lonesome Rd. The intricate topography of the northern Great Plains is evident in the drainage patterns of Battle Cr as it flows through the northeastern corner of the map. This area remains primarily dedicated to water management and livestock, with the vast township and range system providing the only formal structure across the open ground.
