About this map

The Musselshell River winds through this central Montana landscape, defining the transition between the river bottom and the surrounding high plains. The town of Melstone serves as the primary hub, where a grid of streets including Fergus St and Railway Ave meets the rail corridor. The community is supported by essential local landmarks such as the Post Office and the nearby Melstone Cem.

Outside the main settlement, the geography is marked by significant coulees and creek beds, including Wilson Coulee and Lost Horse Cr. To the east, the small settlement of Bascom sits near the border of Musselshell and Rosebud Counties. The terrain rises to the Twin Tops in the southeast, overlooking a network of rural routes like Melstone-Custer Rd and Bascom Rd that connect the isolated ranches and homesteads across the townships.
