2011 Map of Figure Eight Creek

About this map

Figure Eight Creek defines the central drainage of this McCone County landscape, winding through a terrain marked by the intricate watershed of the Big Dry Creek region. In the early 21st century, this area remains characterized by expansive ranchlands and seasonal waterways. To the north, Flying V Creek flows eastward, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the headwaters of Upper McGuire Creek and the meandering path of Middle Fork Prairie Elk Creek. The presence of Prairie Elk Rd on the eastern edge indicates the primary transit corridor for the sparsely populated region, supporting the local livestock and agricultural operations that have defined the eastern Montana plains for generations.
