2017 Map of McGinnis Butte SE

About this map

The county line between Garfield and Rosebud counties bisects this expanse of eastern Montana, where the landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage systems of the Missouri River watershed. High plateaus are carved by the headwaters of McGinnis Cr, Indian Cr, and Short Cr, creating a complex network of coulees and draws typical of the regional geography. This 2017 survey shows a sparsely populated area where the primary human footprint is found in the section-line grids and the remote corridor of N N N Rd. The map serves as a detailed record of land divisions under the Public Land Survey System, including sections within t13n r34e, t13n r35e, and t12n r35e, providing a precise view of the topography before any further modern development altered these cattle-country drainages.
