2017 Map of McCone Heights

About this map

McCone Heights sits on a high plateau in this eastern Montana landscape, where the geography is defined by sharp elevation changes between flat-topped tables and deeply cut drainages. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Crane Cr watershed, while the southern section transitions toward the N Fork Burns Cr valley. Distinctive geological markers like Butler Table and Chimney Rock serve as prominent landmarks amidst the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching and agricultural region, bisected by the border between Richland and Dawson counties. A network of county roads, including Co RD 17 and Co RD 115, provides access across the townships, illustrating how modern transportation follows the natural contours of the high plains.
