About this map

Augusta serves as the primary hub in this Lewis and Clark County landscape, where the town grid is defined by streets like Main St and Broadway St. The surrounding geography is a complex network of natural watercourses and engineered irrigation, reflecting the area's agricultural foundations. Water management is evident through the presence of the Vaughn Ditch, Florence Canal, and Mosher Ditch, which redirect flow across the terrain near Elk Cr.

To the west, the landscape rises into prominent features such as Sandy Butte and the depth of Swallow Canyon. Local history is anchored by the Augusta Cem north of town, while the region's transportation history is represented by the evocative Whoop-Up Trl and the local Augusta Airport. This survey provides a clear view of how irrigation infrastructure has historically shaped the settlement patterns of the Montana plains.
