About this map

Whiteside Ranch and the community of Sleepy Hollow anchor this sparsely populated section of McCone County, where the landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainages of the Big Dry Creek watershed. The network of seasonal watercourses includes Little Dry Creek, Timber Creek, and Jones Creek, which carve across the prairie towards the Twin Buttes landmark. A notable human intervention in this arid environment is the Little Dry Users Ditch, which reflects the region's historical reliance on managed water systems for ranching and agriculture. Local education history is preserved in the location of the Tree Coulee School, while S Flowing Wells Rd provides the primary north-south transit through the rolling hills and coulees of this cattle-ranching territory.
