2014 Map of Medicine Lake

About this map

Medicine Lake dominates this northeastern Montana landscape, its waters broken by several named landforms including Big Island, Gull Island, Youngs Island, and Bruces Island. This early 21st-century survey illustrates a region where local geography is tied closely to the water and the surrounding terrain, marked by Umbrights Hill to the northeast. To the south, the headwaters of McCabe Cr drain the higher ground below the Sheridan Co Roosevelt Co line. Rural life and history are anchored by the Medicine Lake Cem and the more remote Homestead Cem. The map shows a transition from conservation areas along Wildlife Dr and the Interpretive Trail to the agricultural grid defined by roads like Bakken Rd and Big Lake Rd.
