About this map

Medicine Lake dominates the northwestern portion of this 2014 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by expansive water bodies and glacial features at the border of Roosevelt and Sheridan counties. The area is characterized by low-lying wetlands and seasonal drainages, including the eastern reaches of Capeneys Lake and the winding course of Lake Creek. Significant local transit and historical passage points are documented, such as the Rock Crossing and Gaffney Pass, which likely indicate established routes across the varied terrain of the High Plains.

A sparse network of rural roads, including Lakeside Rd and Sandhills Rd, provides the primary access through this remote section of northeastern Montana. The survey captures the transition from the lake basins to the surrounding uplands, marked by subtle elevation changes and drainages like Sand Cr. This documentation serves as a contemporary record of the hydrological and topographic state of the region's essential water systems and cattle-country infrastructure.
