2014 Map of Circle SW

About this map

Redwater River and its network of dry-land tributaries define this McCone County landscape, which remains primarily organized around the Public Land Survey System. The map documents a sparsely settled region of the Great Plains, where the Brost Cem stands as a significant point of interest for genealogists and local historians. This area, located south of the main Big Dry drainage, is characterized by a series of long, branching creek beds including Antelope Cr, Stony Butte Cr, and the winding Tusler Cr. Transportation is limited to primary corridors like Mt-200 and Mt-510, which cut across the high-plateau sections of t18n r47e and surrounding townships. This 2014 survey captures the persistence of large-scale land divisions and the isolated nature of ranching infrastructure in eastern Montana.
