2024 Map of Maxwell Ranch

About this map

The Musselshell River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, marking the intersection of Petroleum, Garfield, and Rosebud counties. This contemporary survey captures a region defined by its hydrography and grazing land, where watercourses like North Willow Creek, Maginnis Creek, and Mud Springs Creek shape the drainage patterns of the high plains. The terrain is further characterized by distinct erosional features such as Dutton Coulee and Salt Sage Coulee, illustrating the geological character of central Montana. While the area remains largely undeveloped, human activity is represented by the connectivity provided by Melstone Rd and 59 Ranch Rd, which serve as the primary conduits through these expansive ranching townships. The map provides a precise record of section lines and township boundaries, including the meeting of T13N and T12N, essential for local land use and genealogical research in this sparsely populated corner of the state.
