2020 Map of Stratford Hill

About this map

Stratford Hill and McCormick Hill rise as prominent landmarks in this section of Yellowstone County, shaping a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages. The area is dissected by numerous seasonal and perennial streams, including Newman Cr, Blue Cr, and the patriotically named Fourth of July Cr. These watercourses flow through a series of north-south trending valleys, which have historically dictated the placement of local thoroughfares such as Duck Creek Rd and Hillcrest Rd. The presence of several family-named landmarks like Cormier Rd and Hamilton Cr suggests the deep-rooted agricultural and ranching heritage of this Montana upland. This 2020 survey captures the region's topography just before the modern era, showing the primary access routes like Stratford Hill Rd that connect these dispersed rural tracts.
