2014 Map of Augusta

About this map

Augusta serves as the central hub of this Lewis and Clark County landscape, where the prairie meets the rising terrain of the Rocky Mountain Front. The map documents an intricate water management system essential to the local ranching economy, featuring the Florence Canal, Vaughn Ditch, and Mosher Ditch alongside natural waterways like Elk Cr and Smith Cr. To the north and west, the topography shifts from the level ground of the Murphy Coulee toward prominent elevations such as Sandy Butte and the depth of Swallow Canyon. The town's infrastructure is clearly defined by a grid of streets including Main St and Broadway St, while the outskirts are marked by local aviation sites like Williams Field Airport and the Augusta Cemetery. Traces of older thoroughfares remain visible through labels like the Whoop-Up Trl, providing a look at the historical transit routes used before the modern alignment of Secondary 435 Hwy.
