About this map

Olson Place anchors the eastern edge of this landscape where the high plains of Cascade County meet the mountain foothills. The drainage system of Simms Creek defines the local geography, with the N Fork Simms Cr and S Fork Simms Cr carving distinct coulees across the terrain. Human modification of the arid environment is evident in the Crown Butte Canal, which follows the contours of the land to manage water resources. The county line between Lewis and Clark and Cascade counties runs north-to-south through the center of the map, bisecting a region of high ridges and deep draws. Landmarks like Long Butte and the winding Loomis Coulee provide essential orientation in a region largely defined by its natural topography and early ranching history.
