2017 Map of Big Wall NW

About this map

Devils Basin dominates the southwestern corner of this Central Montana landscape, marking a transition in the drainage patterns between Petroleum and Musselshell Counties. The territory is defined by intermittent watercourses like Little Wall Cr and several branches of Crooked Cr, which cut through the topographic sections. Human presence is centered on the infrastructure of local agriculture, notably evidenced by Colony Rd and N Colony Way, which serve the Sunset Hutterite Colony. This 2017 survey illustrates the precise section lines and public land survey system grid that organizes the rural ranching and farming operations of the region. Isolated routes like Alec Roy Rd provide access to the deeper portions of the basin, where the terrain becomes increasingly complex.
