About this map

Augusta sits at the intersection of prairie and mountains, serving as a gateway to the high country of Lewis and Clark County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water management, including the Vaughn Ditch, Florence Canal, and Mosher Ditch, which redirect flow from Elk Creek and its tributaries across the plains. This 2024 survey captures the township's layout from Main St to the outlying Augusta Airport, documenting the vital infrastructure that supports ranching and agriculture in this part of Montana.

Local history is preserved at the Augusta Cem and markers like the Whoop-Up Trl, an evocative name for a path through the northern coulees. From the elevations of Sandy Butte to the depths of Swallow Canyon, the terrain shifts from open range to sharp breaks. Notable local landmarks like Williams Field and Krone Lake provide specific points of interest for those tracing family property or regional geography in the modern era.
