2011 Map of Hedgesville

About this map

Hedgesville sits on the high plains of Wheatland County, where the landscape is defined by the winding drainages of the Musselshell River basin. This 2011 survey captures the area's agricultural infrastructure, notably the Deadmans Basin Supply Canal which cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features and landmarks like Haystack Butte, illustrating the open character of this central Montana region. Water management is a central theme of the map, evidenced by the Ernie Hudson Dam and the network of local waterways including Roberts Creek, Elk Creek, Alkali Creek, and Blake Creek. These names reflect the local history and natural environment of a rural landscape shaped by water rights and ranching routes such as 12 E 116 N Rd.
