2017 Map of Melstone NW

About this map

Wilson Coulee and Butts Coulee drain the high plains of Musselshell County in this topographic representation of the Montana landscape. The area is defined by a complex network of coulees, including Seventynine Coulee and West Keggy Coulee, which create a deeply incised terrain characteristic of this part of the state. Water features are sparse but significant, centered on Willow Cr and its northern branch, N Willow Cr. The map captures the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing how modern corridors like Ragged Point Rd and N Melstone Rd follow the natural topography. This section of the county is primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, with the boundaries of t11n r30e and surrounding townships clearly delineating the vast, open rangeland between the scattered drainage basins.
