2011 Map of Akers Ranch

About this map

Akers Ranch serves as a central landmark in this portion of Musselshell County, where the landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Montana plains. The terrain is intricately etched by North Willow Creek and Howard Creek, showing a rural environment managed for water resources. Significant man-made features like Montana Number 31 Dam and Hougan Number 5 Dam indicate the local importance of irrigation and water storage in this arid region. The sparse network of routes, including County Rd and Ragged Point Rd, connects isolated homesteads and ranching operations, reflecting the long-standing land-use patterns of central Montana in the early 21st century. Sand Creek further illustrates the complex seasonal waterways that crisscross the high plains.
