About this map

The Redwater River snakes through the northern reaches of this McCone County landscape, carving a winding path through the high plains of eastern Montana. This 2020 topographic record shows a pastoral region defined by its drainage systems, where significant geological formations like Dowse Coulee and Davis Coulee channel water toward the river basin. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Riverside Cem near the intersection of Redwater Rd and the local connector provides a specific point of reference for family research in this sparsely populated area.

Agricultural life is traced through a grid of named rural routes, including Sunnyside Rd, Sheep Creek Rd, and Loges Rd. The landscape's water management is evident at the southern edge near Waters Reservoir and along Sheep Cr. These features, combined with named landmarks like Alkali Coulee and Waters Coulee, illustrate the relationship between the arid terrain and the vital water sources that sustain it.
