About this map

Brockway serves as the primary settlement hub in this 1983 McCone County landscape, situated where the Redwater River meets a network of vital prairie drainages. The local geography is defined by a series of named watercourses, including Cotter Creek, Beauty Creek, and the curiously named Dirty Creek, which carve through the high plains terrain. A notable cultural landmark is the Race Track located just northwest of the town center, suggesting a local community focal point in the late 20th century.

To the northeast, Stony Butte Hill rises above the surrounding flats near Stony Butte Creek, providing a distinct navigational marker for the region. The map also records the lower reaches of Duck Creek as it approaches the river valley. This survey captures a moment in Montana's ranching country before modern developments, showing the distribution of rural structures and the hydraulic patterns of the northern Great Plains.
