2014 Map of Berry School

About this map

The Redwater River winds through this high-plains landscape on the boundary of Prairie and McCone Counties, where section lines and gravel roads dictate the movement of the local ranching community. This area is defined by its wide drainage basins, including Lisk Creek and Trail Creek, which cut through the undulating terrain. A clear record of early-21st-century rural infrastructure is visible in the placement of the Berry School and the Watkins Cemetery, two focal points for the families living along Chalk Butte Road and Last Chance Road. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range system, showing how the land was divided and settled in this part of eastern Montana.
