1983 Map of Mount Antelope

About this map

Mount Antelope rises above the dissected rangelands of eastern Montana, serving as a prominent landmark in a landscape defined by complex drainage systems. This 1983 survey captures the area along the border of Mc Cone and Dawson counties, where a network of ephemeral streams has carved deep coulees into the prairie. The map details the headwaters and winding courses of several significant waterways, including Cottonwood Creek, Buffalo Springs Creek, and the aptly named Hell Creek. A small-scale industrial presence is noted by the inclusion of a Gravel Pit and a Radio Tower, indicating the sparse but essential infrastructure supporting this rural corridor. The topographic lines illustrate the sharp transitions from flat uplands to the eroded breaks of Mc Cune Creek and Deep Bottom Creek, providing a clear picture of the terrain before modern large-scale developments altered these remote watersheds.
