About this map

The Yellowstone River serves as the central artery of this landscape, carving through the terrain alongside significant irrigation works like the Post-Kellogg Ditch and Bellevue Ditch. The settlement of Carney sits in the southwestern corner, anchored by the modern Frontage Rd and historic routes such as the N Yellowstone Trail Rd. This transportation corridor reflects the long-standing importance of the river valley for movement across the region.

Elevated terrain features like Airport Flats overlook a dense network of watercourses, including Little Timber Cr, Featherbed Cr, and Whitetail Cr. These creeks descend from the northern hills toward the river, where Vogues Bridge provides a crossing point. The presence of numerous named roads like Cow Creek Rd and Dugout RD suggests a landscape of active ranching and agriculture, where water rights and access routes are the primary markers of development.
