2014 Map of Hecker Ranch

About this map

Hecker Ranch anchors this portion of Rosebud County, where the high plains are carved by an intricate network of seasonal drainages. In the northern reaches, Antelope Cr and Beaverball Cr flow through terrain marked by Seventynine Spring, a critical water source in this semi-arid landscape. The southern half of the sheet is dominated by the winding course of Rattlesnake Cr, which moves across the township lines of T10N and T11N R33E. Us-12 skirts the southwestern corner near Home Cr and Muggins Cr, providing the primary transit corridor through a region otherwise defined by ranch roads like Coffee Rd and Hecker Rd. The map illustrates a traditional Montana ranching layout, where isolated homesteads and named springs serve as the primary landmarks across the open range.
