2020 Map of Woodworth Hill

About this map

Woodworth Hill rises above a landscape defined by the drainage networks of the Missouri River watershed, marking a rugged intersection of eastern Montana's prairie and badlands terrain. This 2020 survey documents the border region between McCone and Dawson counties, where the high ground of Stilson Coulee gives way to a complex series of intermittent watercourses including Cottonwood Creek and Buffalo Springs Creek. The area is characterized by vast open range and section-line grazing land, with human activity centered along the path of Cottonwood Creek Road. This modern topographical study captures the enduring rural character of the region, providing precise data on the elevation changes and hydrography near Sioux Creek and Gyp Creek that have shaped land use and ranching boundaries for generations.
