2011 Map of Tadpole Lake

About this map

Tadpole Lake sits at the heart of this northeastern Montana landscape, a prairie expanse characterized by a geometric grid of rural roads and scattered water features. The infrastructure of the area is defined by the Reed Number 2 Dam and a series of long-established section-line roads such as Blue Trail Rd and Cherry Creek Rd. The distribution of burial grounds throughout the countryside, including Saint Johns Cemetery in the west, Scandia Cemetery in the northeast, and Emmaus Cemetery in the southeast, points to the historical settlement patterns of the local farming community in Sheridan County. These named landmarks and transit corridors reflect a persistent agricultural layout where water management and community heritage remain the primary features of the physical geography.
