2017 Map of Watkins SE

About this map

Redwater River winds through the southwestern corner of this high-plains landscape, where the boundary between McCone County and Prairie County splits the drainage basins. This 2017 survey reveals an area defined by its seasonal watercourses and extensive section-line tracks. To the north, Lisk Cr carves a path toward the hills, while the centrally located Morton Spring provides a rare perennial water source in this arid terrain. The map documents the network of rural infrastructure supporting local land use, notably Big Sheep Mountain Rd and Duck Creek Rd. These routes provide access to the upper reaches of Timber Cr and its eastern branch, E Br Timber Cr, illustrating how modern ranching and transit corridors follow the natural topography of the eastern Montana coulees.
