2011 Map of Maxwell Ranch

About this map

Maxwell Ranch sits as a central landmark in this Rosebud County landscape, where the seasonal hydrology of the Missouri River basin is clearly defined by numerous coulees and drainages. The Musselshell River winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle, joined by a network of tributaries including North Willow Creek and Mud Springs Creek. This terrain is deeply etched by Dutton Coulee and Salt Sage Coulee, illustrating the erosional patterns typical of this Montana ranching country. Local infrastructure is sparse, characterized primarily by the path of Melstone Rd and the H Stenisvad Number 2 Dam, which controls water flow in an area where moisture is a critical resource for the surrounding livestock operations and agricultural land.
