About this map

Chandler Spring and the drainage of Burnt Shed Coulee define the rolling landscape at the intersection of Yellowstone and Musselshell counties. This modern topographic study reveals a terrain shaped by seasonal watercourses like Hawk Cr and Weed Cr, which carve through the high plains. The transition between the two counties is marked by a network of rural corridors, including S Musselshell Rd and Roberts Rd, which provide access to the remote ranchlands of the region.

The map illustrates the expansive Public Land Survey System grid across townships T8N and T9N, showing how early land divisions still dictate the modern layout of roads such as Neal Rd and Meredith Rd. Further south, Wolf Spring Cr and Buffalo Cr track toward the Yellowstone County line, offering a detailed view of the local hydrology and the sparse but critical water resources like the eponymous spring that have historically supported life in this part of Montana.
