About this map

Rock Lake and the drainage of Lake Creek anchor this segment of the Channeled Scablands, where glacial meltwater once carved a distinct collection of basins and coulees. The landscape is dotted with numerous small bodies of water, including Phillips Lake, Hatten Lake, and Wall Lake, which reside in a terrain marked by subtle depressions like Marlin Hollow. This area of Lincoln County reflects a remote, agricultural character defined by long section-line roads and sparse infrastructure.

Local transport is limited to gravel and dirt tracks such as Hatten Rd N and Seven Springs Dairy Rd, which service the scattered farms and grazing lands. The map details a network of drainage and seasonal water features, from Meadow Lake to the isolated Flat Lake in the north. This modern survey provides a clear view of the existing hydrologic patterns and the enduring rural boundaries established by the Public Land Survey System.
