About this map

Antelope Butte stands as a prominent topographical landmark in this section of Fallon County, overlooking a network of seasonal drainages that define the eastern Montana landscape. The hydrology of the area is centered on Pennel Creek, which meanders through the central part of the quadrangle, joined by the reaches of Cottonwood Creek and Sandstone Creek. This terrain reflects the region's reliance on managed water resources, evidenced by the Halmans Number 2 Dam in the northeast corner.

Energy extraction and rural heritage are central themes of the landscape, with the Pennel Oil Field marking the industrial presence in the south. Local history and genealogy are anchored at the Bonnievale Cemetery along Pennel Rd. The map also details the rural road system, including the aptly named Anticline Rd and Cabin Creek Rd, which provide access to this sparsely settled cattle and oil country.
