Your mention of the glacier carved areas of Scotland reminds me of the "kettles" in Wisconsin, depressions scooped out by glaciers. I prowled around in one with Linda Godfrey looking for Bigfoot tracks ... and, oh my goodness, looking for a link to put here I see she died last November! That makes me sad. That was a fun day. The inner sleeve of the first American Falcon recording is a photograph of the actual Bray Road of Beast of Bray Road fame.
Several of my favorites….terminal moraine, prairie potholes, alluvial fan, riparian floodplain….a tad esoteric and more than a tad scientific I suppose but that’s kinda me. This isn’t in Montana but, I have to throw “Channeled Scablands” out there because (as you would say), Channeled Scablands.
What a fun meander through Montana. I’d love to know many of these terms in local (non-English) languages. Can I commiserate on the passes? I’ve been stupid or just plain unlucky too many times in winter, though at least lucky enough to dig myself out. They’re no joke.

I need to know if you spotted the tracks!
No joke, we actually did find a couple suspicious impressions in soft ground between stretches of ground cover. She was pretty excited about it. 👣

I need to look up a channeled scablands now.
