2017 Map of Big Wall West

About this map

Devils Basin dominates the northwestern corner of this Musselshell County landscape, where the high plains of central Montana meet a network of rural ranch roads and seasonal watercourses. The drainage of N Willow Cr meanders across the northern sections, cutting through terrain defined by significant elevation changes. Centered on the settlement of Big Wall, the map reveals a remote geography structured by early cadastral surveys, including townships T10N R26E and T9N R27E. The transportation network is primarily composed of light-duty and unpaved routes like Gage Dome Rd and Griffith Rd, reflecting a low-density settlement pattern typical of this region's modern ranching era. Researchers can trace the alignment of these local roads as they follow the natural contours of the land between the basin and the surrounding uplands.
