2011 Map of Ruskosky Ridge

About this map

Ruskosky Ridge stands as the defining topographic feature in this section of Rosebud County, shaping the drainage patterns and the path of the regional road network. This 2011 survey illustrates a sparse, ranch-oriented landscape where the presence of water is primarily indicated by West Muggins Creek and Muggins Creek. The upland terrain is characterized by broad plateaus such as Muggins Taylor Flat, which provide the foundation for a series of local thoroughfares. The road system, including S Sumatra Hysham Rd and Horse Camp Rd, reflects the low-density settlement of eastern Montana, where routes follow natural contours and link distant homesteads or ranching operations across the basin. For those studying the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, the map provides a clear record of these essential arteries and the landforms that dictate their placement.
