Nelson Airport stands as a focal point in this remote section of McCone County, serving a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and intermittent watercourses. The territory is marked by a sophisticated system of water management, evidenced by numerous private earthen structures such as Thora Number 2 Dam, Lyle Nelson Number 7 Dam, and Nelson Number 1 Dam. These features, alongside Lyle Nelson Number 8 Dam, illustrate the critical importance of water storage in the arid Big Sky country.
