2020 Map of Crow Springs

About this map

Bonhoff Butte rises above the intricate drainage network of McCone County, Montana, providing a vertical anchor in a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and coulees. The map highlights a series of vital water points for cattle and wildlife, including Bonin Springs, Norris Springs, and Solhoug Spring, which historically dictated the pattern of ranching in this high plains environment. The drainage system is particularly complex, with the Middle Fork S Fork Rock Cr and S Fork Rock Cr carving through the northern sections while the southern area is dominated by the branches of McGuire Creek. Transportation is limited to rugged tracks such as E Rock Creek Rd, reflecting the sparse human footprint and the dominance of the coulee-and-creek topography, which includes specifically named landforms like Heagy Coulee and Roald Coulee.
