1983 Map of Lisk Creek

About this map

The Redwater River valley serves as the primary geographic corridor through this section of eastern Montana, where the boundaries of McCone and Richland counties meet. This 1983 provisional survey captures a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including the namesake Lisk Creek and Spring Creek, which cut through the high plains. The map illustrates the convergence of small tributaries such as Wolf Cr and Little Creek as they feed into the larger river basin. Notable for its administrative detail, the sheet clearly delineates the point where McCone and Dawson counties join, providing a precise record of late 20th-century geopolitical lines in this rural ranching region. The drainage patterns of Milne Coulee and the forks of various creeks reveal the natural erosion of the prairie breaks.
