2017 Map of Sage Lake

About this map

Sage Lake sits at the heart of this Montana landscape in Hill County, where the terrain is defined by a network of drainage coulees and seasonal watercourses. The hydrology of the area is particularly distinct, featuring the broad Alkali Lakes Coulee and Alkali Coulee to the north, which give way to the more centrally located Sage Lake Coulee. These features represent the classic drainage patterns of the high plains, where water movement has carved intricate paths through the sections of t33n r12e and t32n r12e. Transportation in this rural expanse is limited to a few arterial routes such as Kremlin High Grade Rd and Rd 285 S, which follow the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System. The map also traces the winding path of Sage Creek and the tucked-away Wild Rose Coulee, providing a clear record of the local topography and land divisions.
