2017 Map of North Fork Crooked Creek West

About this map

Hoskin Basin serves as the central topographic feature of this Yellowstone County landscape, where the high plains of Montana meet the drainage systems of the Musselshell River watershed. The geography is defined by the headwaters of the N Fork Crooked Cr and S Fork Crooked Cr, which carve through the terrain as it transitions between the higher elevations and the basin floor. Historically significant for local families and genealogists, the Hoskin Basin Cem is positioned centrally within this rugged area. A network of rural section-line roads, such as 21 Mile Rd, Hoskins Basin Rd, and Mackey Rd, provides access across the townships of t4n r25e and t4n r26e, tracing the paths established for early ranching and land management in this part of the state.
