1983 Map of Bearshack Creek

About this map

Bearshack Creek flows through this high plains drainage system along the boundary of McCone and Prairie Counties. The landscape is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and prominent topographic markers like Lower Summit. Numerous creek systems converge and diverge across the terrain, including Tusler Creek and Dry Ash Creek, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of this Montana interior. The southern portion of the map traces the upper reaches of Bad Route Creek and the confluence of its Middle Fork. The map's detail on ranch tracks and drainage forks reflects a region dominated by large-scale grazing and natural watershed boundaries during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
