About this map

Prairie Elk Cr and Porcupine Cr define the drainage patterns of this McCone County landscape, which is deeply incised by a series of named coulees. The map reveals the ranching and agricultural framework of the region, where wide-reaching townships like t24n r46e are interconnected by unpaved corridors such as Pass Rd and Weldon Rd. These roads navigate a terrain characterized by significant elevation changes, punctuated by features like Dead Man Coulee and Garton Coulee.

Evidence of early 20th-century settlement and family heritage is found at the Ervine Cem in the southeastern corner, while the presence of Gass Reservoir along Gass Rd highlights the importance of water management in this arid environment. The abundance of personal names attached to the land—including John Coulee, Williams Coulee, and Rosie Coulee—suggests a history of individual land claims and homesteading that shaped this part of Montana.
