About this map

The Musselshell River carves a winding path through this central Montana landscape, defining the boundary between Golden Valley and Musselshell counties. Life in this region during the late 1970s was deeply tied to the land and the transit corridors that served it. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad parallels the river, providing a vital link for the small settlement of Bundy.

Agricultural infrastructure is a primary feature of the valley, evidenced by the Glennie Ditch and Egge Ditch irrigation systems that draw from the river. Numerous wells are scattered across the high ground, while the southern terrain is marked by Painted Robe. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a prominent Storage Bin near the rail line suggests a local economy focused on resource extraction and grain transport typical of the Musselshell valley at this time.
