About this map

The small settlement of Weldon serves as the focal point for this McCone County landscape, situated where Weldon Rd meets Prairie Elk Rd. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage networks, including McGuire Cr and its various forks, alongside Porcupine Coulee to the north and Coal Cr to the south. Two evocatively named high points, Big Heaven and Little Heaven, stand out as landmarks amidst the dissected prairie, while Dreyer Reservoir provides a critical water source in this semi-arid region.

Local navigation is oriented around named routes such as Cutting School Rd and Horse Creek Rd, which suggest the early 20th-century social and agricultural infrastructure of the area. The map illustrates a section of the American West where ranching and local school districts once anchored small communities. Researchers will find a clear record of land divisions across townships such as t21n r45e, showing the intersection of natural hydrology and man-made access roads.
