About this map

The Redwater River winds through the eastern portion of this McCone County landscape, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding high plains. This 2017 survey reveals a sparsely populated ranching and agricultural region defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage basins, including Gold Gulch to the north and Sullivan Cr in the south. The terrain is characterized by intricate coulees and breaks that lead into larger tributaries like Hay Cr and Alkali Cr.

Infrastructure is focused along established routes such as Fas 254 and family-named local paths like Beery Rd and E Hereford Rd. The boundary between McCone and Dawson counties runs along the western edge, marking a political division in this open country. Large-scale ranching operations are evidenced by the Section-Line roads and the prevalence of named creeks such as Cow Cr and Pasture Cr, which trace the natural topography of the Montana plains.
