2011 Map of Broadus

About this map

The Broadus town site anchors this survey, centered near the confluence of the Powder River and Lone Tree Creek. This high-plains landscape in southeastern Montana is defined by its drainage systems, where seasonal and perennial waters like Coyote Creek, Sand Creek, and Doyle Creek carve through the terrain. Evidence of local water management and livestock infrastructure appears via the Schaffer Number 1 Dam and the Randall Ditch south of town. Notable landmarks include the Valley View Cemetery on the northern edge of the settlement and the Broadus Airport, which serves this isolated ranching community. The road network, including Powderville West Rd and Moorhead Rd, reflects the area's role as a regional hub for the surrounding river valley, while topographic features like Fivemile Hill and Preston Buttes provide distinct navigational points for the territory.
