2017 Map of Samuelson Ranch

About this map

Samuelson Ranch sits as a primary landmark in this section of Powder River County, where the high plains landscape is defined by the winding course of Pumpkin Cr. This 2017 survey details a remote ranching region characterized by narrow drainage systems and isolated water sources like Manning Spring and Gain Spring. The northern portion of the quadrangle includes part of the Custer National Forest, showing the intersection of public grazing lands and private holdings. Infrastructure is sparse, anchored by the local corridors of Big Pumpkin Rd and Sonnette Rd. These routes follow the natural topography of the land, navigating through breaks like Winter Gulch and across smaller tributaries such as Titus Cr and Sixmile Cr. For those studying the rural development of Montana's eastern ranchlands, the map provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries that govern this expansive cattle country.
