About this map

Stratford Hill and McCormick Hill anchor the high ground in this section of Yellowstone County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages and seasonal watercourses. The drainage patterns are particularly dense, with Blue Cr and its various tributaries like Wyman Cr and Newman Cr carving the northern terrain, while Monument Cr and Hamilton Cr flow through the central and southern reaches.

The infrastructure reflects a rural ranching character, primarily accessed via early 21st-century improvements like Duck Creek Rd and Hillcrest Rd. This U.S. Geological Survey representation of the area reveals the township and range divisions of T2S, T3S, and T4S, showing how land was partitioned across the high ridges. The map captures the distinct topography of the Montana uplands before any significant modern residential sprawl, highlighting the reliance on natural features like Cottonwood Cr and the uniquely named Fourth of July Cr to define the local geography.
