2020 Map of Billings West

About this map

The Rimrocks sandstone cliffs define the northern edge of this urban landscape, where the plateau surface meets the growing city streets. This modern topographic survey of west Billings reveals a complex network of residential expansion and institutional land use, including the campuses of Rocky Mountain College and Montana State University-Billings. The transition from the high elevation of Ninemile Hill and the Billings Logan International Airport down to the valley floor is punctuated by numerous historical sites of interest for local researchers. Several major burial grounds, including Mountview Cem and Sunset Memorial Cem, are detailed alongside the Yellowstone County Courthouse. Drainage across the area is managed through a series of named irrigation and runoff channels such as Arnold Drain, Snow Ditch, and Suburban Ditch, reflecting the managed hydrology of this Yellowstone River valley community.
