About this map

Hungry Creek Pass and Caprock Butte dominate this portion of the Missouri River Basin in McCone County, revealing a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage coulees and seasonal water sources. The map highlights the critical importance of localized water for ranching and travel in this arid region, featuring numerous named water points like Mc Rae Springs, Alexander Springs, and Bielvins Spring. The land is carved by deep geographic features such as Scotsman Coulee, Beaver Coulee, and Costello Coulee, which channel runoff toward Bear Creek and Hungry Creek. This 1970s survey, developed by the U.S. Geological Survey, meticulously documents the complex topography of the high plains, where landmarks like Coal Hill and Bone Bluff provided essential orientation for those navigating the open range.
