About this map

Belt sits at the convergence of several drainages in Cascade County, where the valley floor is defined by the winding path of Belt Creek. The landscape is a complex network of coulees, including French Coulee, Orr Coulee, and Lewis Coulee, which carve through the high plains. This 2017 survey details the infrastructure surrounding the community, from the northern reach of Lower Belt Cem to the industrial and agricultural corridors of Armington Rd and Buffalo Run Rd.

Northwest of the main town, the smaller settlement of Wayne is marked by the presence of the Wayne Tunnel, a notable piece of transportation engineering in a region otherwise dominated by rural routes like Highwood Rd and Red Coulee Rd. To the southeast, the prominent landmark of Belt Butte rises above the surrounding terrain, overlooking the confluence where Little Belt Cr meets the main creek. The map provides a clear record of land divisions and local roads that have supported this Montana ranching and mining district.
