2024 Map of Cushman

About this map

Cushman sits at the center of this rural Golden Valley County landscape, where the Musselshell River winds through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Ninemile Creek and Fivemile Creek, which feed into the primary river valley. High ground is marked by seasonal water sources such as Ninemile Spring in the northwest. The road network, including Buffalo Trl and Van Der Voort Rd, follows the section lines and topographical contours of this ranching and agricultural region. Evidence of the area's surveying history is clear in the township and range boundaries of t7n r21e and t6n r22e, which organize the sparsely populated terrain. In the southern portion, Big Coulee Creek meanders through the breaks, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that have shaped land use in this part of Montana.
