2011 Map of Weldon

About this map

McGuire Creek and its various forks define the topography of this corner of McCone County, creating a network of drainage that sustains the region's agricultural operations. The settlement of Weldon sits at the junction of several rural arteries, including Weldon Rd and Prairie Elk Rd, serving as a central point in a landscape of high ground and water management. Local nomenclature reflects the terrain with features like Big Heaven and Little Heaven, while the numerous reservoirs—such as the Dreyer Brothers Incorporated Number 2 Dam and the Fillenworth Reservoir Number 1 Dam—illustrate the critical importance of water storage for ranching. Historical education infrastructure is remembered through Cutting School Rd, providing a hint of earlier community centers in this sparsely populated area of eastern Montana.
