2020 Map of McCloud

About this map

McCloud and its surrounding prairie landscapes are defined by an intricate network of drainages and local landmarks in this modern survey. The terrain is shaped by the presence of Plenty Cr and its northern fork, alongside Cherry Cr and its own northern tributary, illustrating the complex hydrology of this part of Montana. Named landmarks like Bowgun Butte and Smith Coulee provide vertical relief and local orientation within the township system. Settlement patterns are sparse, represented by the eponymous McCloud and rural infrastructure such as Homestead Reservoir to the north. Transportation is limited to a few arterial paths like Cherry Creek Rd and Bowgun Rd, which follow the contours of the land and the paths of the local creeks, characteristic of the region’s ranching and agricultural layout.
