About this map

Crowley Dam and the surrounding drainage network of the central Montana plains define this landscape at the border of Petroleum and Musselshell counties. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep coulees and seasonal watercourses, including the wide Howard Coulee and Jim Coulee in the southern portion of the quadrangle. These geological features are complemented by the meandering paths of Flatwillow Cr, Alkali Cr, and Howard Cr, which dictate the local topography.

Rural infrastructure is primarily composed of a sparse network of ranch roads and township tracks. Named thoroughfares such as Pugrud Ranch Ln, Flatwillow Rd, and Sharkey Rd indicate established landholdings and connect the isolated sections of this cattle-ranching country. The map clearly delineates the Public Land Survey System boundaries, tracing the township and range lines through this remote high-plains environment.
