2024 Map of Hathaway

About this map

The Yellowstone River carves a wide valley through the ranching country of eastern Montana, defining the landscape between the small settlements of Hathaway and Sheffield. This modern USGS study reveals a terrain marked by deep coulees and seasonal drainages, where named features like Graveyard Creek and Iron Jaw Creek reflect the local heritage of the Rosebud and Custer County line. Transport and local history are etched into the map via Frontage Rd and evocatively named routes such as Calamity Jane Ln and Tombstone Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the Hathaway Cem serves as a vital anchor near the south bank of the river, situated among a network of rural lanes like Bennett Ln and Hathaway Ranch Ln. The map documents a sparsely populated but distinctly named corridor where the river continues to be the primary geographical influence.
