2017 Map of Cap Rock

About this map

Cap Rock stands as a focal point in this portion of the Montana plains, situated along the county line where Wibaux Co and Fallon Co meet. The landscape is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages, including the Rattlesnake Cr and the N Fork Cabin Cr, which carve through the high prairie. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural environment where movement is dictated by a grid of local routes such as High Point Rd and Beacon Hill Rd. The orientation of these roads and the inclusion of the Cap Rock Rd suggest a landscape primarily shaped by land division and water access. Significant topographical features like Cedar Cr and Ash Cr provide the primary geographical markers in an otherwise open terrain.
