2017 Map of Melville NW

About this map

The boundary between Wheatland Co and Sweet Grass Co cuts horizontally across this central Montana landscape, marking a transition in local jurisdiction amidst a network of drainages. High-elevation terrain is defined by the headwaters and winding paths of Fish Cr, Sadie Cr, and Cayuse Cr, which carve through the varied topography of the Lewis and Clark National Forest region. The map captures a primarily rural and open landscape where transportation is concentrated along a few key corridors. Highway 191 runs north-to-south through the eastern half of the quadrangle, serving as the primary artery for the area. Local access is provided by unpaved routes such as Tony Creek Rd and Donald Rd, which trace the contours of the land to reach outlying sections of these high-plains townships.
