2024 Map of Melstone NE

About this map

The Musselshell River meanders across the border of Musselshell and Rosebud counties, creating a serpentine landscape of steep banks and alluvial flats. This 2024 survey documents the hydraulic infrastructure of the High Plains, notably the Delphia Melstone Ditch, which draws from the river to support local agriculture. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees, including Rattlesnake Coulee, Seventynine Coulee, and Gremmert Coulee, that drain the surrounding breaks into the river valley. In the southeastern corner, the tiny settlement of Bascom sits near the junction of Bascomb Rd and Kincheloe Rd, providing a reference point for local genealogy. This modern topographic record captures the enduring ranching and irrigation patterns of the region, from Home Creek to the various family-named landmarks like Getchell Coulee.
