About this map

O'Fallon Creek meanders through the eastern section of this Montana landscape, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks follow the waterway. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainages and hollows, including the namesake Loony Hollow, that carve into the high ground. Water management is a primary feature of this ranching and grazing country, as evidenced by several man-made impoundments such as Archdale Reservoir, Horse Reservoir, and Shoemaker Reservoir.

Family history and local lore are preserved in isolated landmarks like a lone Grave located south of Dry Creek. The map also documents the resource infrastructure of the early 1980s, noting the presence of a Pipeline, various Wells, and a Drill Hole. The boundary between Prairie County and Custer County bisects the quadrangle, providing a specific reference point for researchers tracing land records or historical property lines in this part of eastern Montana.
