1961 Map of Schrammeck Lake

About this map

Schrammeck Lake and its surrounding high-plains landscape are documented in this mid-century topographic record of Cascade County. The geography is defined by a dendritic network of drainages, including Bird Creek, Willow Creek, and the Spanish Coulee, which cut through the terrain toward the Missouri River basin. Civil infrastructure is sparse, characterized by a few key thoroughfares like Adel Road and Millegan Road that link isolated ranchlands. Water management features prominently with the Gollaher Reservoir and its associated spillway, alongside numerous named springs and wells essential for livestock in this semi-arid environment. The area around Cameron demonstrates the typical Montana ranching pattern, where vast reaches of land are connected only by unimproved dirt tracks and a handful of primary county roads.
