1962 Map of Mosby

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Mosby sits at the northern edge of this landscape where the Musselshell River winds through deep, rhythmic bends in the eastern Montana plains. The topography is defined by the sharp transition between the river bottomlands and the elevated benchlands, which are carved by a series of drainage systems including Flatwillow Creek and the long, wandering course of Shaw Coulee. This 1960s survey captures the region as a sparsely populated ranching and utility corridor, marked by the Petroleum Co Garfield Co boundary line. Resource extraction and water management are evident in features such as the Shaie Reservoir and a Gravel Pit near the riverbanks. The intricate contour lines illustrate a terrain of coulees and breaks, including Anderson Coulee and Bar Circle Coulee, which dictate the placement of roads and the seasonal flow of water toward the river.
