About this map

The Musselshell River meanders sharply through this central Montana landscape, defining the boundary between Rosebud and Musselshell counties. In the early 1960s, the region’s economy was heavily tied to energy extraction, as evidenced by the concentration of petroleum infrastructure including the Ivanhoe Dome Oil Field, Stensvad Oil Field, and Keggy Coulee Oil Field. Numerous Oil Wells and a central Substation dot the terrain, linked by an extensive Pipeline network.
