Sprague Lake dominates the southeastern portion of this landscape, its waters fed and drained by a complex network of seasonal and perennial waterways. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural character of the area where Crab Creek and Sheep Creek traverse the plateau. The small settlement at Pifer serves as a focal point along the transportation corridor that parallels the lake's western shore. Further north, the terrain is defined by smaller water bodies such as Eastman Pond and the branching paths of Buttermilk Creek and Lords Creek. This topographical study reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Channeled Scablands, where various rural roads like Doerschlag Rd E and Kintschi Rd provide access to the vast open acreage between these distinct hydrological features.
