2014 Map of Weed Creek West

About this map

Cabin Creek Cem sits as a solitary landmark in this high-plains landscape, where the borders of Musselshell, Rosebud, and Yellowstone counties converge. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage features, including the Angus Bell Coulee in the northwest and the winding paths of Weed Cr and Cabin Cr. This 2014 survey documents a territory shaped by ranching and early travel routes, evidenced by the Musselshell Trail Rd and the Melstone-Custer Rd. Rare water sources like Lemonade Spring and Rock Spring provide critical points of interest in an otherwise arid expanse. The map illustrates the continuing reliance on named springs and creek beds to navigate and manage this vast section of Big Sky Country, preserving the nomenclature of the original homesteaders and travelers who traversed these coulees.
