2020 Map of Kelley

About this map

Kelley sits in the high plains of central Montana, marking a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and topographic breaks. The terrain is deeply incised by Johnson Coulee and Salt Sage Coulee, which channel runoff toward more significant watercourses like Maginnis Cr and Mud Springs Cr. Rising above the surrounding plains, Rattlesnake Butte serves as a prominent natural landmark in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The map reveals a sparse infrastructure typical of this ranching region, where primary access is maintained via Kelley Rd and Fourmile Rd. This 2020 survey captures the area at the boundary between Petroleum and Musselshell counties, showing the enduring grid of township and range lines that still organize this cattle-country geography.
