2017 Map of Signal Mountain

About this map

The Bull Mountains dominate this section of Musselshell County, where the high-altitude landscape is etched by a network of drainage creeks and named ridges. Prominent landmarks such as Signal Mtn and Elbow Hill rise above the complex topography, serving as natural waypoints in a region defined by its vertical relief. The map reveals a specific pattern of land use through its road names, which reflect both the extractive industry and the families who settled this part of Montana. For instance, routes like Johnny's Coal Rd and Pm Coal Rd point to the area's history with resource extraction, while Majerus Rd and Dillman Rd suggest the legacy of local landowners. Watercourses such as Halfbreed Cr, Rehder Cr, and E Parrot Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped the development and access routes of these highlands.
