2024 Map of Central School

About this map

Camrose Colony and the small settlement of Omholt anchor this northern Montana landscape, where the flat plains are interrupted by the dramatic carved valleys of the Marias River. The northern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling waters of Lake Elwell, created by the damming of the river, while the southern reaches are defined by the erosive paths of Powder Coulee and East Powder Coulee. This 2024 survey illustrates a landscape shaped by water management and rural infrastructure, from the D Ratzburg Reservoir to the grid of gravel paths like Reclamation Rd and Union School Rd. For local historians, the Omholt Cem remains a significant landmark of the area's early residency, situated near the intersection of several local access roads that connect these isolated agricultural outposts.
