2014 Map of McCone Heights

About this map

The high plateau of Butler Table and the drainage of the N Fork Burns Cr dominate this Montana landscape where the borders of Dawson and Richland Counties meet. This 2014 survey captures a vast section of the Great Plains characterized by sparse settlements and an intricate network of county roads. The small settlement of McCone Heights serves as a central landmark in an area defined by its geological features, including the prominent Chimney Rock to the south. Local water sources like the isolated Spring near the county line highlight the critical nature of water management in this arid ranching environment. The grid-like survey of the Public Land Survey System is clearly visible, with section lines and rural routes such as Co Road 329 and Road 512 providing the primary infrastructure for this remote agricultural region.
