2020 Map of Buffalo Creek NE

About this map

The Redwater River and its network of tributaries define this reach of the eastern Montana plains along the boundary of McCone and Dawson counties. The landscape is marked by a complex system of drainage coulees and gulches, including Gold Gulch in the northeast and numerous seasonal streams such as Hay Cr, Alkali Cr, and Sullivan Cr. This 2020 survey illustrates the sparsely populated ranching territory characterized by long-established section lines and isolated rural routes. Local infrastructure is represented by roads like Beery Rd and E Hereford Rd, alongside state-designated secondary routes such as Fas 254. The map provides a clear record of the watershed patterns that have dictated land use and livestock movement in this portion of the Missouri River basin for generations.
