About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide, braided path through this Rosebud County landscape, anchoring the small communities of Hathaway and Sheffield. The settlement at Hathaway is closely tied to the transport corridor formed by Old Hwy 10-12, where the Hathaway Post Office and nearby Hathaway Cemetery serve as primary local landmarks. The northern reaches are defined by a network of drainage systems, including Wilson Creek and Whitetail Creek, which are managed by several specific water control structures like Hook Number 2 Dam and Hook Number 67 Dam.

South of the river, the terrain is carved by more seasonal flows such as Graveyard Creek and Iron Jaw Creek. The map documents a rural Montana infrastructure where gravel routes like Sheffield Rd and Graveyard Creek Rd connect isolated ranching or agricultural sites to the main arterial highway. This 2011 survey provides a clear view of the land before significant modern development, showing the enduring spatial relationship between the river, the rail-aligned highway, and the named creeks.
