About this map

John Hen Cr defines the drainage of this Rosebud County landscape, where the high plains of eastern Montana are carved by seasonal watercourses. The terrain is dominated by the distinct elevation of Gobblers Knob, which rises amidst a network of intermittent streams including Cherry Cr, Snider Cr, and Cottonwood Cr. The map captures a largely unpopulated area of Big Sky Country where the primary evidence of human presence is found in the scattered ranch roads and lanes that follow the natural contours of the land.

Transportation routes such as Cherry Creek Rd and Snider Creek Rd provide essential access to this remote grazing territory. Further south, Trail Cr and Dry Cr demonstrate the arid character of the region. The map provides a look at the modern land divisions and access points, including Wild Horse Ranch Ln and Red Shale Rd, illustrating how these drainages continue to shape the local geography and ranching infrastructure.
