About this map

The Redwater River meanders through this section of McCone County, Montana, carving a landscape defined by deep drainages and intermittent creeks. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent coulees, including Dowse Coulee, Davis Coulee, and Alkali Coulee, which serve as the primary geographical markers in this rural expanse. Local infrastructure is primarily composed of isolated section-line roads such as Sunnyside Rd and Dietrich Rd, reflecting the expansive township and range grid of the High Plains.

Evidence of local history and settlement is found at the Riverside Cem located near MT-201. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, water management is represented by Waters Reservoir and its associated drainage, Waters Coulee. This 2014 survey documents the enduring pastoral character of the region, where livestock grazing and dryland geography dictate the placement of rural homesteads and transit routes.
