2017 Map of Broadview East

About this map

Broadview serves as the primary orientation point on this 2017 study of the Yellowstone County high plains. The landscape is defined by the expansive Comanche Flat and the drainage of Comanche Cr, which cuts through the southern sections. This area of Montana is characterized by a precise grid of rural thoroughfares, many bearing the names of local families such as Swartz Nelson Rd, David Rd, and Heiken Rd. This road network illustrates the systematic division of agricultural land, with Cemetery Rd and Broadview E Rd providing essential local connections. The map details the transition between townships, specifically t4n r23e and t4n r24e, showing the intersection of modern property boundaries and the natural watercourse of the creek. Researchers can trace the layout of contemporary rural commerce and land management across this portion of the Montana plains.
