Crown Butte Canal cuts across the northern reaches of this rural Montana landscape, reflecting the essential role of water management in the plains west of Great Falls. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems, including Loomis Coulee and Anderson Coulee, which channel runoff toward the primary waterways. The network of Simms Cr, along with the N Fork Simms Cr and S Fork Simms Cr, creates a complex hydrological pattern across the high ground. A sparse network of local thoroughfares such as Simms Crk Rd, Upper Simms Creek Rd, and Long Butte Rd provides the primary access for this ranching and agricultural region on the border of Lewis and Clark and Cascade counties.
