2011 Map of Central School

About this map

Omholt Cemetery stands as a focal point for local history in this part of Toole County, situated south of the sprawling waters of Lake Elwell. The landscape is defined by the managed flow of the Marias River, which feeds into the lake and is controlled by several local water management structures. Named landmarks like the McCracken Brothers Dam and the Loubren Incorporated Number 1 Dam indicate the critical importance of water rights and irrigation in this northern Montana prairie. A grid of rural roads, including Union School Rd and N Central School Rd, connects scattered ranching and agricultural interests. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the D Ratzburg Reservoir and its associated D Ratzburg Dam provide further evidence of the engineered water systems necessary to support the region's homesteads and farms.
