About this map

Mt Antelope rises from the high plains of McCone County, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and seasonal watercourses. This modern survey illustrates the complex topography of the Big Sheep Mountains, where the headwaters of Buffalo Springs Creek and its West Fork carve through the terrain. The presence of Quick Reservoir indicates the critical importance of water management in this arid region of Eastern Montana.

The boundary between McCone and Dawson counties cuts vertically through the eastern portion of the map, separating the drainages of Cottonwood Creek from the western basins. Local routes like Circle Tower Hill and Wittkopp Rd provide the primary access to these remote sections, tracing the ridges and flats between Hell Creek and McCune Creek. The map provides a clear record of the Public Land Survey System township and range lines, essential for modern landowners and researchers tracking property history in the Big Sky Country.
