2017 Map of Cherry Spring

About this map

The Bull Mountains dominate the landscape of this southern Montana region, where high desert terrain is defined by dramatic plateaus and deep drainage channels. The map captures a sparsely populated territory along the Musselshell County and Yellowstone County line, characterized by prominent geological landmarks like Square Butte and Three Buttes. Water sources are critical features in this arid environment, evidenced by the named Cherry Spring and the seasonal networks of Hawk Cr and Dry Fork Hawk Cr. The presence of Tepee Coulee and Carters Coulee suggests the complex erosional history of the area. Human activity is primarily represented by a light network of rural routes, such as Fishel Creek Rd and Roen Rd, which serve the remote ranchlands and rangelands of the northern Yellowstone territory.
