About this map

Medicine Lake Natl Wildl Refuge dominates this section of Roosevelt County, Montana, providing a detailed look at the complex hydrography of the High Plains. Central to the landscape is the expansive Medicine Lake, flanked by the smaller Capeneys Lake and a series of smaller ponds and marshlands managed for migratory bird habitat. The terrain transition is marked by the Sandhills to the east and the narrow Gaffeney Pass between the larger water bodies.

Surface drainage is defined by Lake Creek and Sand Creek, while man-made water management is visible at Dam Number-10. Access into this protected environment is provided by Lakeside Rd and the Sheridan-Roosevelt County Rd, which marks the boundary between counties. This survey preserves the exact footprint of the refuge and its surrounding prairie as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
