About this map

Flatwillow Colony sits at the intersection of a vast ranching and energy-producing landscape in Musselshell County. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by its drainage systems and natural resources, notably the Big Wall Oil Field in the southeastern quadrant. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts, moving from the open plains around Colony Rd and N Colony Way into the distinctive depression of the Devils Basin.

Water management and seasonal flow are central to the geography here, with Little Wall Cr and Crooked Cr cutting across the survey area. For researchers, these features show the relationship between early agricultural settlement patterns and the underlying geology that supported mid-century petroleum development. The sparse road network, including Alec Roy Rd, highlights the isolation of these rural land holdings and industrial sites.
