2011 Map of Melville NW

About this map

Fish Creek and Sadie Creek meander through this portion of Wheatland County, defining a landscape shaped by high-plains watercourses. The network of drainage shown here is central to the area's geography, with Cayuse Creek flowing through the southern reaches. A sparse but essential road system connects the territory, anchored by US Route 191 which cuts a straight north-south line across the map. Local routes such as Sourdough Rd, Melville Rd, and Cayuse Rd suggest the ranching and agricultural framework of the region, providing a 2011 record of the access points to this open Montana terrain.
