2014 Map of Big Wall East

About this map

Kilby Butte Colony serves as a primary point of interest in this eastern Montana landscape, situated near the distinctive rise of Kilby Butte. The map documents a territory defined by a blend of agricultural life and energy extraction, most notably the Big Wall Oil Field in the northwest. This industrial presence is contrasted by the natural course of the Musselshell River flowing through the southern edge of the quadrangle. A network of ranch roads and specialized trails, such as Shepherder Trl and Painted Horse Trl, suggests the historical and continued importance of livestock movements across these townships. Drainage systems like N Willow Cr and the topographical depression of Drum Gulch illustrate the drainage patterns toward the Musselshell valley, providing a clear look at the area's physical geography in the early twenty-first century.
