2017 Map of Medicine Lake

About this map

Medicine Lake dominates this northern Montana landscape, its expansive waters punctuated by several named landforms including Bruces Island, Youngs Island, and Gull Island. The town of Medicine Lake sits at the northwestern corner of the water body, serving as a focal point for the surrounding prairie. A distinct elevation rise is noted at Umbrights Hill to the northeast, while the southern reaches of the map transition into the rolling plains where McCabe Cr flows. Local history is anchored by the Medicine Lake Cem and the Homestead Cem, which mark the presence of early 20th-century settlers. The landscape is defined by a grid of rural routes such as Big Lake Rd, Bakken Rd, and Longview Rd, showing the persistent agricultural and conservation-focused character of this region near the Sheridan and Roosevelt county line.
