About this map

The Musselshell River winds through this central Montana landscape, creating a serpentine corridor of riparian activity north of Mosby. This 2011 survey documents a region defined by its water management and ranching geography, where the river meets Flatwillow Creek amidst a series of coulees and earthen dams. The crossing at Mosby Bridge serves as a local focal point, connecting the small settlement to the broader reach of Melstone Rd.

Water infrastructure is a dominant feature of this terrain, with several small-scale reservoirs and dams marking the drainages. Named landmarks like Shaw Reservoir, Williams Coulee Number 2 Dam, and Hill Number 2 Dam indicate the local efforts to harness seasonal flows. The land is etched by deep coulees including Circle Bar Coulee and Hughes Coulee, illustrating the erosive character of the Missouri River basin watershed.
