2020 Map of Hudiburgh Reservoir NW

About this map

Cow Cr and Duck Cr wind through this part of McCone County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water and rural infrastructure. The terrain is marked by a network of ranch and resource roads, including W Cow Creek Rd and Stoney Rd, which provide access to this isolated portion of the Missouri River basin. A notable landmark for water in this arid environment is Blackjack Spring, located in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The presence of the Oil Field Svc Rd suggests the intersection of traditional cattle ranching with modern energy extraction, a common pattern in 21st-century Montana. This 2020 survey details the precise township and range boundaries, such as the junction of t23n r47e and t22n r47e, illustrating the continued importance of the Public Land Survey System in organizing the western plains.
