2017 Map of Hailstone Basin

About this map

Hailstone Basin and its surrounding landscape are defined by a network of drainage systems and isolated upland plateaus in Stillwater County. The southern portion of this region is dominated by Hailstone Lake, a central hydrological feature within the basin itself. To the north, the terrain transitions into a series of intricately carved coulees and ridges where Painted Robe Cr and its tributaries have etched deep patterns into the earth. Local transit is largely dictated by the topography, with Painted Robe Rd following the natural contours of the valley floor, while other routes like Kunesh Rd and Hoagland Rd delineate the boundaries between higher grazing lands and the lower basins. The map illustrates a typical Montana rangeland layout, emphasizing the relationship between limited water sources and the road systems that navigate the land's structural folds.
