About this map

Evans serves as the primary landmark in this section of Cascade County, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Sand Coulee drainage system. The topography transitions from the lower elevations of Sand Coulee Creek and Half Breed Creek into the rising terrain of the Lewis and Clark National Forest. High points like Tiger Butte and the drainage of Dicks Gulch characterize the southeastern corner, while the presence of a Mine and several Gravel Pits indicates the local extraction industry during the mid-1990s.

The 4th Standard Parallel North cuts across the center of the sheet, providing a formal boundary between the open coulees and the forested uplands. Tributaries such as Elder Creek and Beaudry Fork flow through the eastern ridges, illustrating the complex water network that feeds into the larger valley. The map also identifies a Resort and numerous Springs, suggesting the area's utility for both recreation and livestock management.
