2014 Map of Akers Ranch

About this map

Akers Ranch serves as the central namesake landmark in this portion of Musselshell County, situated in a landscape defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage and springs. The topography is shaped by the winding courses of N Willow Creek and Howard Creek, alongside the distinct Howard Coulee in the northeastern quadrant. Access across this rural terrain is provided by unpaved routes such as Ragged Point Rd and Akers Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. The presence of Arkansas Spring near the ranch highlights the critical importance of reliable water sources in this region of Montana. This 2014 survey documents the enduring ranching character and the complex hydrology of the headwaters for Sand Creek, illustrating the remote and sparsely populated nature of the Big Sky Country plains.
