2024 Map of Turtle Creek

About this map

Turtle Creek and its many seasonal tributaries define this section of McCone County, where the landscape is sculpted by a complex network of drainage systems. The map illustrates a remote grazing territory characterized by sharp topographic relief, including Alkali Coulee and Green Coulee. Water resources are central to the geography here, with the Remuda Creek system branching into the Middle Fork Remuda Creek and West Fork Remuda Creek. Human passage through this terrain is primarily facilitated by secondary routes like Hwy 536 and Hwy 528, alongside local ranch roads such as Prairie Elk Rd. The dominance of named creeks like Prairie Elk Creek and Big Mud Creek underscores the importance of watershed management in this part of the high plains, providing a detailed view of the natural contours and land divisions within t26n r45e and surrounding townships.
