About this map

The Musselshell River winds through the heart of Wheatland County, anchoring the town of Harlowton as it sits at the intersection of several regional routes. This landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways including Antelope Creek, Jawbone Creek, and Alkali Creek, which have historically shaped the drainage and irrigation patterns of this central Montana region. The presence of Jawbone Dam Number 1 and Jawbone Dam Number 2 highlights the critical role of water management for the surrounding agricultural community and the Springwater Colony situated to the northeast.

Local infrastructure and community services are well-documented, from the Harlowton Post Office and Harlowton Vol Fire Dept - Wheatland Co Vol Fire Dept to the Wheatland County Airport serving the area. For genealogists, the map identifies both the Wheatland County Cemetery and the Catholic Cemetery located west of the town center. Recreational and travel facilities are also noted, such as the Chief Joseph Park Campground and the Harlowton Rest Area, reflecting the town's role as a waypoint for travelers in the early 21st century.
