2020 Map of Tule Lake

About this map

Tule Lake and Fifteen Mile Lake serve as the primary hydrologic landmarks in this section of Blaine County, where the high plains landscape is defined by drainage patterns and intermittent water sources. The terrain is structured by the southward flow of Fifteenmile Cr and the Northwest Fork Thirtymile Cr, which carve distinct coulees through the townships. Human impact on the land is represented primarily by the rectilinear Public Land Survey System and a sparse network of section roads, including Zurich Canadian Rd and Cherry Ridge Rd. This area reflects the modern ranching and agricultural character of northern Montana, where vast tracts are organized into townships such as t34n r20e and t34n r21e, illustrating the scale of rural land management and the importance of isolated basins like the namesake Tule Lake.
