About this map

Dunn Mtn and Red Bluff dominate the high ground of this Yellowstone County landscape, where the drainage systems of Pompeys Pillar Cr and Railroad Cr have carved a complex network of coulees and ridges. The 2014 survey reveals an arid territory defined by its water sources, with numerous numbered springs such as 06N27E29AAA_01 Spring and 06N27E24CDD_01 Spring tucked into the draws.

Remote section lines and rural tracks like Pfister Rd and Sando Rd provide the only passage through this open range. The confluence of several seasonal waterways, including W Fork Pompeys Pillar Cr and Churn Dash Cr, illustrates the importance of riparian corridors for early land use and stock raising in this part of Montana. The map also delineates the western boundary shared between Musselshell and Yellowstone Counties.
