2017 Map of Park Lake

About this map

Comertown sits at the eastern edge of this Sheridan County landscape, where the prairie of northeast Montana meets the Canadian border. The terrain is defined by a series of shallow water bodies and depressions, including Johnson Lake, Salt Lake, and Park Lake, which reveal the glaciated character of the northern plains. This 2017 survey details a sparsely populated ranching and agricultural region where travel is largely dictated by local routes such as Salt Lake Rd and Comertown-Dooley Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the McCall - Gibson Cem and the Dooley Cem provides critical points of reference for tracing early families in this remote corner of the United States. The proximity to the international border and the scattering of water features like Widgeon Slough characterize the transitional environment of the High Plains.
