About this map

The Yellowstone River anchors this central Prairie County landscape, carving a wide path through the Montana badlands. Near the river's bend, the small community of Calypso sits at the base of significant elevation changes, shadowed by the prominent Sheridan Butte to the west. The river itself features the Wolf Rapids, a notable navigational point for local water travel and geography.

Transport and water management define the region's layout, with the Milwaukee Rd following the river's contours and W Old Hwy 10 cutting through the southern sections. A complex network of drainages, including Sullivan Cr, Lost Boy Cr, and Cherry Cr, feed into the Yellowstone, illustrating the intricate erosion patterns typical of this part of the state. Local landmarks like Calypso Spring and Conns Coulee provide specific points of interest for those studying the physical history and land usage of this stretch of the river valley.
