2014 Map of Figure Eight Creek

About this map

Figure Eight Creek defines the central drainage of this McCone County landscape, winding through a network of coulees and prairie waterways. The map illustrates a remote section of eastern Montana where water is the primary geographic marker, featuring the headwaters and tributaries of Middle Fork Prairie Elk Creek and Flying V Creek. This area remains largely defined by the Public Land Survey System, with the boundaries of t23n r45e and t22n r45e organizing the vast, open terrain. Transport is limited to primitive routes and the north-south corridor of Weldon Road, reflecting the sparse settlement patterns of the High Plains. Topographical features like Roald Coulee and Upper McGuire Creek provide specific landmarks for those tracing the hydrography or local ranching boundaries in this quiet corner of the state.
