About this map

The high plains of eastern Montana's McCone County are defined by a complex drainage network shown here as it existed in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The landscape is dominated by the winding course of Rock Creek, which carves through the undulating terrain alongside several significant tributaries. In the northeastern portion of the sheet, Nickwall Creek and Sheep Creek intersect with the local topography, while Long Branch Creek moves through the southern reaches. Human presence is sparse in this open country, marked primarily by the settlement of Earnham and the established boundaries of Township 25 and 26 North. This provisional mapping captures the region's character as a remote ranching or agricultural landscape, where water sources like Rock Creek dictated the placement of early homesteads and transport routes.
