2017 Map of Pasture Creek

About this map

Maxwell Hill and the surrounding drainage basins of McCone County define this high plains landscape as it appeared in 2017. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of coulees, including Millers Coulee, Hancock Coulee, and Alkali Coulee, which channel seasonal runoff toward larger creek beds. This mapping reveals a rural infrastructure of high-clearance routes like Maxwell Hill Rd and Ferry Rd that connect isolated landmarks. Significant water features such as Garfield Spring and Remuda Creek provide critical points of interest in an otherwise arid environment. For researchers, the land divisions and named terrain features like Wildcat Canyon and Widow Coulee offer a precise view of the local topography and the enduring naming conventions used by generations of Montana ranchers and land managers.
