About this map

Kelley is located in the dry plains of Central Montana, situated along the southern boundary where Petroleum County meets Musselshell County. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Mud Springs Cr and Maginnis Cr, which have carved out distinctive terrain features like Johnson Coulee and Salt Sage Coulee. North of the settlement, Rattlesnake Butte stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the surrounding draws and mesas.

Transportation through this ranching country is primarily facilitated by Kelley Rd and Fourmile Rd, which follow the section lines and natural contours of the territory. This 2017 survey shows the sparse, open character of the region, emphasizing the importance of these few named watercourses and landmarks in a vast, arid environment where property and township boundaries like T12N R28E divide the land into a structured grid.
