About this map

Bonhoff Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this section of McCone County, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and seasonal water sources. The topography is deeply incised by numerous coulees, including Heagy Coulee, Anderson Coulee, and Roald Coulee, which channel runoff toward major stream systems like S Fork Rock Cr and N Fork McGuire Cr.

Reliable water points were critical for early ranching and homesteading in this semi-arid region, evidenced by the named springs distributed across the terrain. These include Bonin Springs and Norris Springs in the north, Solhaug Spring near the center, and the eponymous Crow Springs to the east. The drainage patterns of Rough Prong McGuire Cr and Figure Eight Cr further illustrate the complex erosional history of this Montana rangeland, where terrain features often carry the names of early settlers or local families.
