2020 Map of Carney

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the heart of this landscape in Sweet Grass County, defining the valley's complex network of irrigation and transport. A sophisticated system of water management is visible through labels like the Post-Kellogg Ditch, Prather Mayborn Westfall Ditch, and the Hunters Hot Springs Canal, illustrating how the arid surroundings were adapted for agriculture and ranching. Near the settlement of Carney, the infrastructure follows the river's path, with the N Yellowstone Trail Rd and Vogues Bridge marking historical transit corridors. To the north, the terrain is deeply dissected by numerous tributaries including Little Timber Cr and Featherbed Cr, while the southeast is characterized by the broad level of Airport Flats. This modern survey reveals a landscape where old ranching routes like Cow Creek Rd and Dugout Rd interface with the primary arterial flow of the river valley.
