About this map

The Musselshell River winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the settlement of Harlowton. As the county seat of Wheatland County, the town is established as a regional hub, supported by the Wheatland County Airport at Harlowton and a network of arterial roads including Old Gap Rd and Red Bridge Rd. The surrounding territory is defined by its drainage systems, where Alkali Cr and Antelope Cr flow through the northern reaches, while the American Fork and Lebo Cr dominate the south.

Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, from the Catholic Cem and Harlowton Cem near the town center to the more remote Oka Cem to the north. Further east, the Springwater Colony represents a distinct communal settlement pattern typical of the Montana plains. The terrain, marked by features such as Wapiti, shows a complex system of local transit like Five Mile Loop and Tierney Loop that navigate the varied topography between the river valley and the rising benches.
