About this map

Columbus serves as the focal point of this Stillwater County landscape, situated where the high plains meet the fertile valley of the Yellowstone River. The town's infrastructure is clearly defined, featuring the Woltermann Memorial Airport and a grid of streets including Clough Ave S and E 1st Ave S. The surrounding terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts, from the elevations of Johnson Ridge and High Pines Blf to the carved path of Wildcat Coulee.

Water management is a central theme of the region's development, illustrated by the Columbus Water Users Association Ditch which cuts across the southern portion of the map. Numerous drainage systems such as Hensley Cr, Brown Cr, and Toms Cr feed toward the river valley. Local recreation and transit are anchored by Ich-Kep-Pe Park and historic routes like Old US-10, reflecting the area's transition from a river-focused settlement to a modern regional hub.
