1960 Map of Mc Konkey Creek

About this map

The county line between Rosebud Co Treasure Co divides this high plains landscape as it was documented in the mid-twentieth century. The terrain is primarily defined by its drainage network, where the headwaters of Willow Creek and Mc Konkey Creek have carved a series of intricate ridges and coulees. The appearance of a solitary drill hole suggests early exploration into the subsurface resources of the area, though the surface remains largely undeveloped and focused on the natural topography of Bone Coulee and Muggins Creek. The map reflects a period of meticulous photogrammetric survey, preserving the exact contours of the Montana ranchlands before any significant modern cultural or drainage shifts occurred in the subsequent decades.
