2014 Map of Park Lake

About this map

Comertown sits at the edge of a landscape defined by alkali basins and prairie potholes along the international boundary between Montana and Saskatchewan. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a rural corner of Sheridan County where drainage patterns are dominated by named water bodies such as Johnson Lake, Salt Lake, and Comers Lake. The presence of the McCall - Gibson Cem and Dooley Cem provides critical anchors for genealogists and local historians tracing the early homesteading families of this northern borderland. The topography is marked by a network of sectional roads, including Salt Lake Rd and Comertown Dooley Rd, which navigate the depressions of Park Lake and Widgeon Slough. This map illustrates the intersection of modern land management and the enduring isolation of the High Plains.
