About this map

Big Sheep Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this region where McCone, Dawson, and Prairie Counties converge. This remote portion of eastern Montana is defined by a complex drainage system, where the headwaters of Dry Ash Cr, Clear Cr, and Deep Bottom carve through the high plains. The map reveals the intricate natural topography of the Big Sheep range, showing a landscape shaped by water and elevation rather than dense human settlement.

Transportation through this rugged country follows established corridors like Union Rd and State Hwy 467, which provide access to the dispersed ranchlands. To the south, the terrain gives way to the various forks of the Tusler and Bad Route drainages, including N Fork Tusler Cr and E Fork Bad Route Cr. This modern survey documents the persistent boundary lines and rural road networks that have structured land use in this part of the state for generations.
