About this map

Mt Antelope and the northern reaches of the Big Sheep Mountains define this section of the Montana high plains along the border of McCone and Dawson Counties. The landscape is heavily dissected by an intricate drainage network, where seasonal waterways like Hell Creek and McCune Creek have carved deep coulees and draws through the arid terrain. This topographic pattern is evident in features such as Deep Bottom and the winding course of Buffalo Springs Creek.

Remote ranching activity is signaled by the presence of the Quick Reservoir and a sparse network of section-line roads, including Wittkopp Road. The prominent Circle Tower Hill serves as a distinct navigational landmark in a region otherwise dominated by rolling uplands and significant elevation changes. This map documents a largely undeveloped corridor where land use remains tied to the natural hydrology of the Upper Sevenmile Creek and Cottonwood Creek systems.
