2024 Map of Fail Ranch

About this map

The Musselshell River meanders deeply across this central Montana landscape, forming a natural boundary between Petroleum and Garfield Counties. This modern topographic study reveals a terrain defined by its drainage patterns, where long erosional features like Long Coulee and Williams Coulee carve through the high plains toward the river basin. The industrial character of the region is quietly marked by the presence of Oil Field Rd, indicating the importance of resource extraction in this sparsely populated area of the state. These infrastructure elements, including the historic-themed Stage Rd, provide the primary human imprint on a landscape dominated by the winding paths of Cottonwood Creek and Cat Creek. The map serves as a precise guide to the section lines and township boundaries that organize this part of the American West.
