About this map

The Redwater River meanders across this rural section of McCone County, Montana, carving a path through a landscape defined by its complex drainage network. To the west, Stony Butte Cr and Ash Cr feed the larger basin, while the eastern reaches are marked by the branching courses of Tusler Cr and Pasture Cr. The terrain is sparsely settled, with the local geography organized primarily by the Public Land Survey System grids of t18n r47e and surrounding townships.

Evidence of early local heritage is found at the Brost Cem, situated along Brockway East Rd. This small burial ground serves as a focal point for genealogical interest in an area otherwise dominated by open range and seasonal waterways like Antelope Cr. The road network, including Ash Creek Rd and Dry Ash Creek Rd, traces the contours of the coulees and high ground, reflecting the enduring patterns of ranching and land use in this part of the Big Sky State.
