2020 Map of Half Moon Hill

About this map

Buffalo Jump stands as a prominent landmark in this portion of the Big Horn Basin, marking a landscape defined by significant topographic relief and intermittent water sources. The map Detail centers on a complex network of drainages including Rosebud Cr, Leaf Rock Cr, and N Fork Monument Cr, which carve through the high plains. Elevation reaches its peak at Eagle Nest Peak and the namesake Half Moon Hill in the northern half of the quadrangle. The presence of numerous named springs, such as 07S39E10BCAC01 Spring and 08S39E16ADCA01 Spring, indicates the critical role of groundwater in this arid Montana environment. Transportation is limited to a few secondary routes, including Montana Secondary Highway 566 and Spring Creek Mine Rd, reflecting the area's rural and likely industrial or agricultural character.
