About this map

Schrammeck Lake sits in the northeast corner of this high plains landscape in Cascade County, characterizing a region defined by extensive drainage systems and topographic depressions. The area is marked by significant coulees, such as Spring Willow Coulee and Spanish Coulee, which carve through the terrain south of the lake. These features indicate a landscape shaped by seasonal runoff and erosion, common in the Montana ranchlands.

Water management and natural hydrology are evident through the presence of Gollaher Reservoir and numerous named tributaries including Willow Cr and Bird Cr. The map details the local road network with Cascade Hound Creek Rd and Whitmore Rd, which provide the primary access through this sparsely populated territory. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including t17n r1e, underscores the transition from natural landforms to organized ranching and agricultural boundaries.
