2024 Map of Melville

About this map

Melville serves as the central settlement in this portion of Sweet Grass County, situated at the junction of State Hwy 371 and State Hwy 191. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Upper Sweet Grass Canal, Lower Sweet Grass Canal, and the Big Timber Creek Canal, which divert water from natural courses like Sweet Grass Creek to support regional ranching and agriculture. Prominent landmarks such as Wheeler Butte and the Franklin Hills rise above the drainage basins of Cayuse Creek and Otter Creek. The grid of rural roads, including Donald Rd and Rupert Rd, provides access to various sections of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the orderly division of the Montana plains for modern land management.
