About this map

Hedstrom Lake and the surrounding high plains of eastern Montana define this landscape where three counties converge. The drainage patterns of Skull Cr and Hay Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the remote ranching country at the junction of McCone, Garfield, and Prairie counties. This area is characterized by vast open spaces where infrastructure is limited to a few secondary thoroughfares like Last Chance Rd and E Two Furrow Rd.

Genealogical interest is centered on the two distinct locations of Biebers Cem located in the northeast, which serve as quiet landmarks of early settlement in this part of the state. The map details the intricate township and range divisions, such as t17n r45e, that organize this sparsely populated territory, providing a precise look at the land ownership patterns of the early twenty-first century.
