2024 Map of Hathaway NW

About this map

Whitetail Creek and Wilson Creek wind through this remote reach of the Montana prairie, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape shaped by intermittent water and high plains topography. This contemporary survey captures the intricate branching of Coal Creek as it carves through the undulating terrain of the Rosebud and Custer county line. The map reveals the sparse infrastructure of the region, where gravel and unimproved routes like Co Rd 160 and Sunday Creek Rd 5 provide the primary access to vast grazing lands. The intricate contouring illustrates the sharp breaks and coulees common to the area, highlighting the transition between high plateaus and the deep creek beds of Sage Creek and Steiger Creek.
