2014 Map of Cherry Spring

About this map

Bull Mountains topography and high-plains ranch land define this portion of the border between Musselshell and Yellowstone Counties. The landscape is marked by a complex network of coulees and gulches, including Carters Coulee and Tepee Coulee, which channel drainage toward Hawk Cr and its tributaries. While the region is arid, numerous small springs such as Cherry Spring and various unnamed sources identified by their township and range coordinates indicate the critical importance of water access for local livestock operations like the 7 P K Ranch. Prominent geological landmarks, notably Square Butte and Three Buttes, serve as natural navigational markers across the undulating terrain. A sparse network of rural roads, including Fishel Creek Rd and Hawk Creek Rd, provides the primary access to these remote ranching outposts.
