2014 Map of North Fork Crooked Creek West

About this map

Hoskin Basin serves as a focal point for this expansive section of Yellowstone County, where the high-plains landscape is carved by the drainages of the N Fork Crooked Cr and S Fork Crooked Cr. This 2014 survey captures a rural ranching environment defined more by its terrain and drainage basins than by concentrated town sites. The presence of the Hoskin Basin Cem along 21 Mile Rd provides a critical anchor for local genealogists and historians tracing family roots in this part of Montana. To the northwest, Hay Basin stands out as a significant topographic feature, with the section-line road network including Bender Rd and Cushman Rd providing access across the township boundaries of T4N and T3N. The map illustrates a landscape of intermittent watercourses and established rural thoroughfares such as Hoskins Basin Rd and Mackey Rd.
