About this map

Wild Horse Butte rises above the dramatic landscape of Wheatland County, where the intricate drainage systems of the Musselshell River basin define the topography. This 1986 survey documents a stretch of Montana range land where natural water sources like Mud Creek, Fish Creek, and several Springs dictate the patterns of land use and navigation. The namesake Devils Pocket represents a distinct geologic depression or basin within the high plains, providing a look at the area's physical geography before modern intensive development. To the southwest, a prominent formation known as The Madison stands as a landmark for local ranchers and land surveyors, illustrating the characteristic limestone or sedimentary features that define this part of the central Montana benchlands.
