About this map

Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge dominates the southern landscape of this Sheridan County quadrangle, where a network of prairie drainages including Sand Creek and Cottonwood Creek feed into larger water bodies. The terrain is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as Eden Valley Rd and Nathanael Rd, which serve the agricultural plots of Township 32 and 33 North. Small, localized landmarks provide vital clues for genealogical research in this sparsely populated area, notably the Eden Valley Cem and the Nathanael Lutheran Cem. These sites, along with features like Neiser Creek and Lake Creek, illustrate the historical pattern of homesteading and community development in northeastern Montana.
