2017 Map of Mailbox Hill

About this map

Mailbox Hill stands as the primary landmark in this section of the Montana landscape, overlooking a series of drainage systems that define the local topography. This 2017 survey details a network of waterways including E Buffalo Cr, Butte Cr, and Deadman Cr, which carve through the terrain near Kendall Coulee. The map illustrates the enduring paths of rural infrastructure, most notably the Musselshell Trail Rd and Melstone Rd, tracing the movement of people and livestock through Yellowstone County. These corridors, along with the Custer Pineview Rd, serve as the vital arteries connecting isolated ranch lands and providing access to the sprawling high plains north of the Yellowstone River. The presence of the label Trower suggests a point of local significance or a family-named waypoint amidst the extensive township and range survey lines.
