2020 Map of Hedgesville

About this map

Hedgesville serves as the primary settlement on this Wheatland County landscape, which transitions from the northern drainages of Blake Cr and Roberts Cr toward the southern river valley. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the managed water systems, most notably the Deadmans Basin Supply Canal which cuts across the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. This infrastructure supports the lands north of the Musselshell River, where the terrain is punctuated by significant landmarks like Haystack Butte. The network of local roads, including Lower Nihill Rd and Antelope Rd, provides a clear view of the rural section lines and homestead access points as they existed in the early twenty-first century. These features, along with various seasonal drainages like Alkali Cr and Elk Cr, illustrate the specialized water management required for ranching and farming in central Montana.
