2024 Map of Hay Basin NE

About this map

Bull Mountains topography dominates this section of the Montana landscape, where intricate drainage systems like Road Coulee and Goulding Creek carve through the high country. The map captures a transition from these elevated breaks down toward the more level southern terrain near the border of Musselshell and Yellowstone counties. A significant portion of the southwestern quadrant is dedicated to a Waterfowl Production Area, highlighting the conservation value of the seasonal wetlands and riparian zones found along West Razor Creek. The network of local roads, including Schoolhouse Rd and Majerus Rd, provides a clear view of how rural access was established along the natural contours of the coulees and ridgelines. This modern survey reflects the enduring cattle-ranching and conservation character of the region, documenting the current state of land use and water management.
