2014 Map of Pine View

About this map

Pine View serves as the primary landmark in this sparsely populated stretch of the High Plains near the Musselshell and Yellowstone County boundary. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where intermittent waters carve through the terrain to create distinctive features like Donalds Coulee and Kendall Coulee. This 2014 survey documents a rugged ranching environment where the movement of livestock and people is dictated by the courses of Buffalo Creek, Deadman Creek, and Antelope Creek. The transition between Townships 7 North Range 30 East and 6 North Range 31 East highlights the grid-based settlement pattern of rural Montana. Transportation is limited to gravel routes such as Pineview Road and Custer Pineview Road, which connect isolated homesteads across the coulees and creek beds.
