2020 Map of McLaren Reservoir

About this map

McLaren Reservoir and Holm Reservoir are the central hydrological features in this high plains landscape of Blaine County. This modern survey reveals a semi-arid terrain defined by extensive coulees and intermittent watercourses, most notably the meandering path of Lodge Cr. The land is partitioned by a grid of rural routes such as Lonesome Rd and Reser Rd, which follow the township and range lines typical of Montana's vast agricultural and ranching expanses. Landforms like Link Coulee and Hay Coulee demonstrate the erosional patterns of the region, providing vital drainage towards the primary creek beds. The road network, including the distinctly named Norweigain Rd, serves as the primary infrastructure connecting these remote ranching sections in the northern part of the state.
