2017 Map of Acton

About this map

Acton sits at the heart of this landscape where the high plains meet the headwaters of several critical drainages in Yellowstone County. The settlement is positioned along a corridor defined by Shepherd Acton Rd and Mainwaring Rd, surrounded by the wide expanses of Comanche Flat. This area is defined by its seasonal water systems, including the N Fork Fivemile Cr, S Fork Fivemile Cr, and the N Fork Alkali Cr, which carve subtle paths through the terrain. To the northeast, the land transitions into a network of ranching roads and residential trails with names like Wapiti Ridge Trl and Wild Horse Trl, reflecting the contemporary character of the region. Local property boundaries and family-named routes such as Sidell Rd, Oswald Rd, and Mammen Rd indicate the established rural framework of this part of Montana.
