2017 Map of McCabe East

About this map

McCabe and Lanark anchor this section of Roosevelt County, where the landscape is defined by the branching drainages of the Missouri River watershed. The terrain is etched by the seasonal flows of Shotgun Cr and its tributaries, including W Shotgun Cr and E Shotgun Cr, which carve through the plains. The southern portion of the map follows the course of Clover Cr near the settlement of Lanark, illustrating a rural landscape organized by the Public Land Survey System. The grid of section lines is reflected in the local road network, with routes like McCabe Rd and Lanark Rd providing the primary connectivity between these isolated communities. Other water features such as Shell Cr and Snake Cr further emphasize the drainage patterns that have dictated the placement of homesteads and infrastructure in this part of northeastern Montana.
