2024 Map of Billings East

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a prominent path through this landscape, dividing the urban expansion of Billings from the burgeoning community of Lockwood. To the north, Billings Heights and Billings Bench occupy the elevated terrain, where the Billings Bench Water Association Canal and Lake Elmo define the local hydrology. The area is anchored by significant historical landmarks, including the notable Boothill Cem and Riverside Cem near the riverbanks. The rugged geography is further marked by the high bluffs of Rimrocks, Skeleton Cliff, and Sacrifice Cliff, which loom over the valley. Extensive irrigation works like the Lockwood Ditch and Coulson Ditch reflect the agricultural engineering required to support development along the river’s north and south banks. This survey also documents the transition from older transport routes like Old Hwy 312 and Old Hwy 87 to the modern road network.
