2020 Map of Turtle Creek

About this map

The northern reaches of McCone County are defined by a complex drainage system where Remuda Cr and its tributaries, including the Middle Fork Remuda Cr and W Fork Remuda Cr, carve through the Montana landscape. This contemporary survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the sparse, ranching-oriented infrastructure of the region, anchored by the north-south corridor of Prairie Elk Rd. The terrain is marked by seasonal watercourses such as Alkali Coulee and Green Coulee, which feed into larger arteries like Turtle Cr and Big Mud Cr. The land is neatly partitioned into township and range grids, including t26n r45e, showing how modern land management persists in this expansive cattle country. Remote roadways like Highland Rd and State Hwy 528 provide the primary access through this high-plains environment near the Missouri River breaks.
