About this map

Cabin Creek Cemetery sits near the northern reaches of this Yellowstone County landscape, marking a quiet point of reference in an area defined by its seasonal drainages and spring-fed hydrology. The terrain is crisscrossed by several prominent waterways, including Alkali Creek, Cabin Creek, and Weed Creek, which carve winding paths through the territory. These water sources were vital for early ranching and travel, supplemented by specific points like Rock Spring and Lemonade Spring.

A network of local transit routes, such as the Musselshell Trail Rd and Melstone-Custer Rd, follow the natural contours of the land, tracing the historical movement between rural Montana outposts. The presence of Wolf Spring Creek and several unnamed small-scale ponds indicates a reliance on scattered water points in this semi-arid environment. This survey captures the sparse but organized infrastructure of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
