2017 Map of Horsethief Creek

About this map

Horsethief Cr and Currant Cr carve through this section of Musselshell County, defining a landscape where ranching infrastructure meets modern resource extraction. The presence of Oil Field Rd in the northern townships highlights the industrial footprint in this part of Montana, while an extensive network of local routes like Horsethief Rd and Golf Course Rd connects the rolling terrain. Water management is evidenced by the Naderman Ditch in the southeast corner, a vital piece of irrigation history in an otherwise arid drainage basin. Smaller seasonal waterways such as Cat Cr and Alkali Cr further detail the complex hydrography. The map also documents specific land divisions across several townships, including t8n r24e and t8n r25e, providing a clear record of property and road development as it stood in the mid-2010s.
