About this map

The Musselshell Ranger District of the Lewis and Clark National Forest anchors this mid-1990s look at Meagher County. High terrain at Whetstone Ridge drops south toward the winding South Fork Musselshell River and the small settlement of Groveland. The landscape is a mix of protected timberlands and active ranching, marked by the prominent 71 Ranch and the Voldseth Reservoir to the southwest.

Evidence of historical transport and modern infrastructure appears side-by-side, from the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the central valley to the Cottonwood Electronic Site on the eastern hills. The drainage network is complex, with Muddy Creek and Cottonwood Creek feeding the river system, while a local Gravel Pit and scattered benchmarks like BM 4992 suggest the ongoing maintenance of this rural landscape just before the turn of the millennium.
