2011 Map of Quick Reservoir

About this map

Quick Reservoir and Mccluys Reservoir anchor this McCone County landscape, highlighting the essential role of water management in eastern Montana. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal drainages, including the prominent McCune Creek and Hell Creek, which carve through the high plains. Significant topographical points like Circle Tower Hl overlook the winding Dry Ash Creek and the drainage known as Deep Bottom. Human infrastructure is sparse, limited to arterial corridors such as Union Rd and McCune Creek Rd that navigate the ridges and valleys between these water sources. This survey captures a rural ranching environment where the placement of stock reservoirs and the names of local coulees reflect the community's reliance on and adaptation to the arid prairie geography.
