About this map

Prairie Lawn Cem stands as a lonely landmark in this high plains landscape along the southern border of McCone County, just north of the Dawson County line. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainages that feed the Redwater River as it winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Significant coulees and gulches, including Kraut Coulee and Gold Gulch, carve through the rangeland, illustrating the intricate natural irrigation and erosion patterns typical of this Montana region.

Remote section lines and a sparse road network, featuring Redwater Rd and Road 607, reveal a land dedicated to wide-scale ranching and agriculture. The presence of Waters Reservoir and several smaller creeks like Wolf Cr and Little Creek emphasize the vital importance of water management in this semi-arid environment. This 2014 survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and natural landmarks that define the boundary between McCone and Dawson counties.
