2020 Map of Figure Eight Creek

About this map

Figure Eight Cr and Flying V Cr define the drainage patterns of this rural McCone County landscape, where the high plains of eastern Montana are etched by a network of seasonal watercourses and coulees. The terrain is characterized by long ridges and deep draws, including Deer Coulee and Roald Coulee in the southwest. Transport in this part of the county is limited to a few arterial routes like Prairie Elk Rd and E Rock Creek Rd, reflecting the low-density grazing and agricultural character of the region. In the southeast, the Middle Fork Prairie Elk Cr cuts through the topography, while Upper McGuire Cr provides a glimpse into the localized watershed south of the township line. The grid-like precision of the Public Land Survey System overlay, including t23n r45e, anchors these natural features within their legal geography.
