2017 Map of Mud Spring

About this map

Mud Spring and the surrounding drainage of Mud Springs Cr anchor this high-plains landscape in central Montana. This 2017 topographic survey reveals a sparsely developed region where water sources and topographic depressions, or coulees, serve as the primary landmarks for navigation and land management. The presence of Circle Bar Spring and the nearby Circle Bar Coulee indicates a history of ranching or livestock movement through this corner of Petroleum and Musselshell Counties. The terrain is further defined by seasonal watercourses like Maginnis Cr and N Maginnis Cr, while Salt Sage Coulee cuts through the southern reaches of the map. This study primarily tracks the intricate contour lines and public land survey boundaries that define the geography of this remote interior stretch.
