2020 Map of Melville

About this map

Melville serves as the central hub of this Sweet Grass County landscape, situated at the intersection of Melville Rd and State Hwy 371. The settlement's civic presence is anchored by its Po, while the surrounding terrain is defined by an extensive network of water management features designed to support agriculture in the eastern Montana foothills. The presence of the Upper Sweet Grass Canal, Lower Sweet Grass Canal, and Big Timber Cr Canal reveals a high-desert environment heavily modified by irrigation engineering. Natural landmarks such as Wheeler Butte and the Franklin Hills rise above the drainage systems of Sweet Grass Creek and Cayuse Cr, providing topographical context to the rural road network including Anderson Rd and Wheeler Creek Rd.
