2014 Map of Lavina NW

About this map

The high plains of Central Montana are defined by deep drainages and cattle ranching infrastructure along the boundary of Golden Valley and Musselshell counties. The landscape is carved by seasonal waterways including Cameron Cr in the north and Currant Cr in the south, which weave through a series of natural depressions such as Spring Coulee, Smith Coulee, and Twin Coulee. This 2014 survey reveals a sparse network of ranch roads and private lanes that navigate the townships of T8N and T9N. Long-established routes like Emory Rd, Timber Buttes Rd, and the descriptively named Horsethief Rd connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands. Smaller, family-named or descriptive spurs like Lehfeldt Rd, N Harmon Rd, and Faith Ranch Ln provide insight into the modern land use and historical property divisions of this part of the Big Sky Country.
