About this map

The Kilby Butte Colony serves as a prominent landmark in this portion of Musselshell County, positioned near the Kilby Hutterite Cem. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Musselshell River, which is flanked by an intricate network of irrigation systems including the Krueger Spendiff Ditch and the Guffena Sudan Ditch. These man-made watercourses indicate the region's reliance on managed water for agriculture amidst the varied topography of the plains.

Further south, the terrain transitions into a series of drainages and seasonal creek beds such as East Parrot Creek and Fattig Creek. A network of rural routes, including Chandler Rd and Snaull Coulee Rd, provide access through the complex coulees and ridges, most notably Y-Bar Coulee. This survey documents a quiet rural landscape where land management and water rights shape the pattern of settlement.
