About this map

Horsethief Creek meanders through this section of Musselshell County, defining a landscape shaped by seasonal drainage and local resource infrastructure. In this 2014 snapshot, the area shows a distinct transition between agricultural grazing land and industrial activity, marked significantly by Oil Field Rd. This road, alongside the presence of the Naderman Ditch in the southeast corner, highlights the dual importance of water management and petroleum extraction in this part of Montana.

Local transport is anchored by Us-12 and a network of gravel and dirt thoroughfares such as Johnson Rd and Horsethief Rd. Named watercourses including Cat Creek, Alkali Creek, and Currant Creek provide essential drainage for the surrounding terrain. The layout of rural routes like Golf Course Rd and Silver Creek Spur reflects the contemporary land use patterns of a ranching community integrated with energy production.
