2020 Map of Billings East

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a prominent path through this 2020 topographic record, defining the growth of Billings and its surrounding communities. Along the northern banks, Billings Heights and the expansive Billings Bench showcase a landscape shaped by irrigation, evident in the intricate network of the Billings Bench Water Association Canal and the Miller and McGirl Ditch. To the south and east, the settlement of Lockwood and the industrial siding at Hirsch anchor the river's edge, while geological features like the Rimrocks, Skeleton Cliff, and the historic Sacrifice Cliff provide dramatic vertical relief against the valley floor. Genealogists and local historians can locate prominent resting places such as Boothill Cem and Riverside Cem, while tracing the development of residential corridors near Lake Elmo and across the numerous named islands like Cherry Island and Dovers Island.
