2011 Map of Billings East

About this map

The Yellowstone River carves a path through this landscape, dividing the urban expansion of Billings from the suburban reaches of Billings Heights and Lockwood. Prominent geological features like Sacrifice Cliff and Skeleton Cliff stand as rugged landmarks over the river valley. The region's history and development are evidenced by infrastructure like the Billings Bench Water Association Canal, Coulson Ditch, and Lockwood Ditch, which speak to the complex irrigation network necessary for taming the high plains. Nearby, the BNSF Railway corridor tracks alongside industrial sites, including the ExxonMobil Emergency Response Team facility. Local heritage is preserved at sites like Boothill Cemetery and Riverside Cemetery, while modern community hubs like MetraPark and Lake Elmo define the contemporary character of this Montana crossroads.
