2014 Map of Musselshell

About this map

Musselshell serves as the focal point of this Eastern Montana landscape, situated at a major bend in the Musselshell River. The town's layout and the nearby Musselshell Cem reflect a settled agricultural community, while the presence of the Melstone Oil Field to the north indicates the region's industrial ties to energy extraction. The terrain is defined by a network of drainages and coulees, including Sand Cr, Fourmile Cr, and McLean Coulee, which carve through the high plains. A complex of local roads such as Ragged Point Rd and Old Musselshell Rd navigate the contours of the valley, while the Chandler Ditch highlights the historical importance of water management in this arid environment.
