2020 Map of McCone Heights

About this map

McCone Heights sits on the high plains of the Montana-Dakota borderlands, a landscape defined by expansive plateaus and eroded drainages. The area is dominated by the high ground of Butler Table in the southwest, while the notable formation of Chimney Rock stands as a landmark above the N Fork Burns Cr. Water is a scarce and vital resource in this semi-arid region, evidenced by the presence of the 20N56E05AACB01 Spring and the seasonal flows of Crane Cr. The map reveals a systematic grid of county roads, such as Co RD 114 and Co RD 113, that provide access to this ranching country straddling the boundary between Richland and Dawson counties. These surveyed lines reflect the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in organizing the western cattle and wheat lands.
