About this map

Tadpole Lake sits at the center of this northeastern Montana landscape, surrounded by the rectangular grid of section lines and gravel roads that define Sheridan County. The geography is marked by historic focal points of the local community, including the Saint Johns Cem in the west and Scandia Cem to the east. These sites, along with the Emmaus Cem situated near Emmaus Rd, provide essential reference points for genealogists tracing family histories in this part of the state.

Transportation is anchored by Mt-5, which cuts diagonally across the northern townships, while a network of named local routes like Blue Trail Rd and Cherry Creek Rd connect the scattered homesteads. The southern boundary is defined by Stateline Rd, illustrating the proximity of this prairie terrain to the neighboring state border. The map reflects a rural economy structured around these persistent property lines and the vital water source of the lake.
