2020 Map of Mailbox Hill

About this map

Mail Box Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this segment of Yellowstone County, providing a high vantage point over a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and early transit routes. The presence of Musselshell Trail Rd and Melstone Rd highlights the historic movement of people and livestock through these plains, following natural corridors between the Musselshell and Yellowstone watersheds. This area is etched by numerous coulees and creek beds, including the northern reaches of Buffalo Cr and its eastern fork, E Buffalo Cr. To the southwest, Kendall Coulee and Deadman Cr reveal the rugged erosion patterns typical of the region. The map also documents the local road network, such as Custer Pineview Rd and Trower, which serve the dispersed agricultural interests of this open ranching country.
