Moorhead stands near the confluence of the Powder River and Graham Cr in this northern Montana landscape. The settlement is defined by its relationship to the winding river valley and the significant elevation changes found at Kelsey Hill and the uniquely named The Devils Backbone to the south. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems including Kelsey Draw, Bootjack Draw, and numerous seasonal waterways like Flood Cr, Cliff Cr, and Thompson Cr. A primary transportation corridor follows the river via Moorhead Rd and Big Powder River East Rd, connecting the scattered ranchlands. This survey illustrates the remote character of Powder River Co near the state line, where the land is divided into townships and ranges that overlay a complex network of creeks such as Bitter Creek and Buffalo Cr.
