2024 Map of Broadus

About this map

Broadus serves as the focal point of this Eastern Montana landscape, situated along the winding course of the Powder River. The town's grid is anchored by the Powder River County Courthouse and serves the surrounding ranching and agricultural community through infrastructure like the Broadus Airport. The terrain is characterized by a network of seasonal drainages and irrigation works, including the Randall Ditch and North Fork Sand Creek, which carve through the high plains toward the river valley. To the northeast, the distinct forms of Preston Buttes and Fivemile Hill rise above the drainage basins of Coyote Creek and Government Creek. Local history is preserved at the Valley View Cem, located just east of the main settlement. The map detail highlights the intersection of traditional land use and modern transport, with routes like Moorehead Rd and Big Powder River East Rd following the natural contours of the river terrace.
