About this map

The Redwater River winds through this sparsely settled corner of the Montana plains, defining a landscape carved by a network of seasonal watercourses. This area, located along the border of McCone and Dawson counties, is characterized by its wide drainage basins and a handful of section-line roads that facilitate ranching and land management. The presence of Duck Cr, Sullivan Cr, and Bluff Cr highlights the complex natural irrigation of the Missouri River watershed, where the terrain rises from the riverbanks into high, contoured plateaus. Local transport depends on a thin grid of routes including Duck Creek Rd and Rd 621, which connect the remote sections of this high-plains environment. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, illustrating the geometric organization of the American West.
