2024 Map of Hopley Creek South

About this map

The Musselshell River winds through this central Montana landscape, creating a riparian corridor that contrasts with the surrounding drainage patterns of the Wheatland County plains. This contemporary survey details the complex water management and natural hydrology of the region, where the Twodot Canal diverts water alongside natural features like Hopley Creek and Mexican John Creek. The land is divided into a geometric grid of ranching and agricultural access roads, including Mexican John Rd, Capser Ranch Rd, and Farmers Field Rd, reflecting the enduring rural character of the Big Sky Country. From the elevation changes at Dresback Coulee to the southern reaches near McVey Creek, the map provides a precise record of the modern terrain and the specific family-named landmarks that define this section of the state.
