2011 Map of Chandler Spring

About this map

Carpenter Creek and Hawk Creek define the drainage patterns of this rural landscape in Yellowstone County, where ephemeral watercourses wind through open ranch land. The area is marked by a network of established local thoroughfares, most notably the S Musselshell Rd and the Musselshell Trail Rd, which likely follow historic paths between the regional valleys. The landscape is dominated by seasonal drainage basins, including Weed Creek, Wolf Spring Creek, and East Buffalo Creek, indicating a terrain shaped by the runoff of the high plains. This 2011 survey by the United States Geological Survey illustrates the enduring pastoral character of the region, where roads like Pineview Rd and Roberts Rd serve isolated homesteads and grazing operations far from major population centers.
