About this map

The Redwater River winds through the sparse, open prairie of the McCone Co and Prairie Co boundary in eastern Montana. This 2017 survey shows a landscape defined by its remote drainage systems, where small tributaries like Skull Cr, Trail Cr, and Hay Cr carve paths through the undulating terrain toward the river. The area is characterized by vast sections of open land, with only occasional rural landmarks signaling the presence of local community centers from earlier decades.

Local history is anchored by the Berry School and the Watkins Cem, which serve as vital points of reference for genealogists and family historians researching the settlement of this region. A network of rural routes, including Chalk Butte Rd, Last Chance Rd, and Bob Fudge Rd, provides the primary infrastructure connecting these isolated landmarks. The map illustrates how township and range lines, such as t17n r46e and t16n r45e, still dictate the organization of this quiet corner of the Montana plains.
