2024 Map of Hecker Ranch

About this map

Antelope Creek and Beaverball Creek define the drainage patterns of this high-plains landscape in Rosebud County. The map details a network of vital water sources in an arid environment, including Seventynine Spring and the winding course of Rattlesnake Creek. These waterways provide the geographical structure for the scattered ranching infrastructure of the region. The area is intersected by a series of gravel and unimproved roads such as N Sumatra Rd, Hecker Rd, and Gumbo Butte Rd, which connect the remote sections of this Montana territory. The presence of Home Creek and Muggins Creek in the southern reaches highlights the persistent importance of seasonal water flow to the local land-use patterns in this section of the state.
