2014 Map of Elso

About this map

The Musselshell River winds through this central Montana landscape, defining a valley where irrigation infrastructure like Glennie Ditch and Naderman Ditch supports local ranching and agriculture. The small settlement of Elso sits along Us-12, serving as a focal point in a region characterized by deep coulees and seasonal creek beds. To the south and east, the terrain is etched by drainage systems including Lamont Coulee, Road Coulee, and Sjandy Coulee, which channel water toward the primary river basin. Local life is mapped through a network of rural routes such as Clinic Rd and Shoe String Rd, while family-named landmarks like Raths Ln and Grieman Rd provide a clear view of land ownership and residency patterns in Musselshell County during the early twenty-first century.
