1983 Map of Woodworth Hill

About this map

The Redwater River winds through the northwestern corner of this landscape, marking a terrain defined by extensive drainage systems along the border of McCone and Dawson counties. The central feature, Woodworth Hill, rises above a network of seasonal and perennial waterways including Cottonwood Creek and the southern reaches of Buffalo Springs Creek. This region reflects the sparse, ranch-oriented settlement patterns of eastern Montana in the late 1970s and early 1980s, where land use is dictated by the deeply eroded coulees and creek beds. A solitary Gravel Pit near the northern boundary provides a rare indication of local industry amidst the drainage basins of Stilson Coulee and Sioux Creek, which carve out the high-plains topography.
