About this map

Mc Cune Creek and Heil Creek carve through this Montana landscape, which is defined by a complex network of drainage basins and high ridges. The area represents the remote ranching and grazing lands of McCone County as they were documented in the late 1970s. The presence of the Quick Reservoir in the northeastern quadrant suggests the importance of water management in this arid environment, providing a focal point for livestock or local irrigation.

Evidence of small-scale industry is found at a Gravel Pit located centrally among the coulees. The terrain is marked by distinctive topographical features such as Deep Bottom and Dry Ash Creek, illustrating the erosional patterns common to the northern plains. This 1983 provisional edition provides a meticulous view of the physical geography before modern developments, highlighting the natural watercourses like Hell Creek and Fowler Creek that dictated the region's early navigation and land use.
