2011 Map of Vaughn NE

About this map

Lake Creek Flat characterizes this portion of Cascade County, where the meandering course of Lake Creek cuts through a high-plains landscape defined by a rigid grid of rural section roads. This 2011 survey shows an area dominated by agricultural infrastructure, notably marked by water management features like Muddy Spots Dam and Neuman Number 2 Dam. The intersection of modern transportation and community service is evident in the southern reaches, where the Vaughn North Frontage Rd parallels the highway corridor near the Vaughn Vol Fire Dept - Newman Bench Vol Fire Company. Local history is preserved in the naming of the thoroughfares, such as Neuman School Rd, Old Gettel Rd, and Somerfeld Rd, which likely trace back to the early homesteading families who settled this northern Montana benchland.
