About this map

The Bull Mountains dominate this high-relief landscape in central Montana, where the border between Musselshell Co and Yellowstone Co cuts through the southern reaches of the range. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and elevated plateaus, including Johnston Mtn, Dunn Mtn, and the expansive Taylor Mesa. These features suggest a topography of significant elevation changes, deeply etched by a network of seasonal drainages and named springs like those feeding Fattig Cr and Rehder Cr.

Access into this part of the Big Sky country is marked by narrow, descriptive tracks such as Otter Tr, Spring Holw, and Turkey Trot Dr. The distribution of dozens of numbered springs across the survey area, including the pools at Buss Water, points to the critical importance of water management in these high grasslands and timbered coulees. The absence of large town centers emphasizes the area's rural character, dominated by the cattle-and-range geography of the eastern Montana mountains.
