1972 Map of Mc Cone Heights

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Mc Cone Heights and the surrounding high plains of eastern Montana dominate this topographic study, captured shortly after 1970 aerial photography. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the flat, elevated surface of Butler Table and the intricate drainage networks carved by Crane Creek and Dunlap Creek. This area, straddling the border of Richland and Dawson counties, showcases the complex erosion patterns characteristic of the region, where numerous wells are scattered across the section lines to support cattle ranching on the high divides. The presence of Chimney Rock provides a distinct vertical landmark amidst the dissected coulees of the North Fork Burns Creek drainage, illustrating the geological character of the Missouri River breaks country during this era of stable ranching and land use.
