About this map

The Yellowstone River anchors this central Montana landscape, winding through a series of dramatic bends that define the local geography. Near the river's edge, the settlement of Calypso sits along the Milwaukee Rd, reflecting a transportation-dependent history typical of the region. The river is marked by the Wolf Rapids and a network of ephemeral drainages like Sullivan Cr and Camp Cr that feed into the main waterway.

Topographically, the area is characterized by high-relief landforms such as Sheridan Butte and the deep incisions of Conns Coulee. Further north, a complex drainage system including Lost Boy Cr and Cherry Cr dissects the upland areas, while Calypso Spring provides a permanent water source in the drier terrain west of the river. The presence of Old Highway 10 W and Scenic View Rd suggests a landscape transitioning from historical transit routes to more modern administrative and recreational uses.
