2017 Map of Shawmut

About this map

Shawmut sits at the heart of this Wheatland County landscape, defined by its relationship with the Musselshell River. The settlement's essential services are anchored by the Po, while the surrounding terrain is marked by the engineering of the Deadmans Basin Supply Canal. This waterway and its associated Canal Rd represent a critical piece of regional infrastructure, illustrating the management of water resources in the Montana plains. The map reveals a grid-like transport network extending from the town center, including Shawmut Rd and Hedgesville Rd, which connect the township boundaries of t7n r17e and t7n r18e. The combination of natural river meanders and straight-line irrigation canals showcases the intersection of geography and agricultural necessity in this part of the state.
