1986 Map of Cushman

About this map

The Musselshell River carves a deep valley across this central Montana landscape, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the small settlement of Cushman. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Ninemile Creek and Fivemile Creek, which lead toward the river through a region marked by coulees and draws. To the north, the distinctive landform of Womans Pocket overlooks the valley floor. Evidence of the area's development is seen in the Old RR Grade and a Landing Strip, suggesting a transition in transportation and land use over time. Industrial and agricultural infrastructure is present through several Gravel Pit operations and a Concrete Dam on the river, while the local hydrology is punctuated by features like Dry Lake and Ninemile Spring.
