2020 Map of Mahoney Hill

About this map

Three Forks sits at the heart of this Cascade County landscape, where the dissected terrain is defined by a series of prominent benches and creek drainages. The naming of high ground such as Dutch Bench and Swede Bench reflects the area's homesteading history and ethnic settlement patterns. A complex network of coulees and ridges converges near Mahoney Hill and Blankenbaker Hill, while drainage systems like Sand Coulee Cr and Box Elder Cr carve through the topography. This rural landscape is anchored by local landmarks including the Tiger Butte Cem and the naming of roads such as Century School Rd, which points to the foundational role of early education in these ranching communities. The map provides a detailed view of the land partitions and natural features that have shaped life on this portion of the Montana plains.
