About this map

Bull Mountain and the sweeping Yellowstone River define this corner of Yellowstone County, where the river valley transitions into the elevated terrain of Seven Mile Flat. The landscape reflects the critical role of water management in the region, centered on the Huntley-Main Canal which runs parallel to the river and the rail line. This intricate network of irrigation is vital for the local agricultural base, cutting through the river's floodplains near Randalls Island.

To the south, the topography rises sharply away from the valley, characterized by drainage features like Rough Coulee and Koiser Cr. Historical travel corridors are visible through labels such as Old Hwy and Custer Frontage Rd, which skirt the northern face of the mountain. These roads and the nearby Hibbard Cr to the north trace the natural routes used by generations to navigate the varied Montana terrain.
