About this map

Broadview serves as the primary focal point on the western edge of this 2020 survey, where the residential grid meets the open landscape of Yellowstone County. The map details a transition from the structured township of Broadview into the expansive Comanche Flat, a broad area of wetlands and intermittent drainages. Water management and natural drainage patterns are defined by the winding course of Comanche Cr, which snakes through the southern sections of the quadrangle.

A network of rural routes, including Cemetery Rd, Broadview East Rd, and Heiken Rd, provides the infrastructure for this agricultural region. The landscape is marked by section lines and large-scale land divisions, characteristic of Montana's high plains. Researchers can trace the connection between localized family or descriptive names on roads, such as Swartz Nelson Rd and Birkley Rd, and the underlying geography of the t4n r23e and t3n r24e survey townships.
