About this map

Thoeny sits at the southern edge of this Valley County landscape, a remote Montana settlement positioned along the waters of Rock Creek. The geography here is defined by a dendritic network of drainage systems, including McEachern Creek and Chambers Creek, which carve out terrain features such as Dolson Coulee and Davison Coulee. These coulees illustrate the localized erosion patterns typical of the high plains, where intermittent water sources shape the land.

Evidence of local land management and communal history appears through Hunter Dam and the Hill Crest Cemetery, the latter located just west of the main settlement area. The road network, including McEachern Rd and Thoeny Rd, connects the scattered homesteads and water points that supported the region's agricultural interests. To the north, the map shows the convergence of West Fork Rock Creek and La Berge Creek, highlighting the critical importance of these small watercourses in a semi-arid environment.
