About this map

Pole Cr and Dry Cr weave through this section of Musselshell County, defining the drainage patterns across a high-plains landscape. The topography is marked by the presence of Des Moines Lakes in the western half of the quadrangle, which serves as a significant hydrologic feature in this semi-arid region. Human activity and access are concentrated along two primary routes, Pole Creek Rd and Golf Course Rd, which provide the backbone for movement across the township and range sections of t10n r23e, t10n r24e, t9n r23e, and t9n r24e. The grid-like survey patterns of the Public Land Survey System are clearly visible, illustrating how the land was partitioned for ranching or development in the modern era.
