2011 Map of Beauty Creek

About this map

Beauty Creek winds through this expanse of McCone County, Montana, providing a central drainage for a series of tributary systems. The landscape is defined by the carved paths of Soda Creek and Dirty Creek, which cut across the prairie terrain. The road network reflects the vast scale of the high plains, where long stretches like Chalk Butte Rd and Logan Rd provide the primary infrastructure for traversing the rangeland. In the northern reaches, Nelson Creek and Cotter Creek add further complexity to the hydrological profile of the region. This 2011 survey illustrates the sparse but vital connectivity of rural Montana, where transportation follows the natural contours of the valley systems, such as the area surrounding Beauty Valley Rd.
