About this map

Comanche and the surrounding ranchlands of Yellowstone County define this portion of the Montana landscape as it appeared in 2011. The settlement pattern is dominated by expansive family holdings, including the Heiken Ranch in the northwest and the Lane Ranch to the southwest, connected by a network of rural roads such as Herman Schroeder Rd and Ballard Ivie Rd. The Comanche Cemetery sits near the northern boundary, providing a focal point for local genealogy and history.

Water management and natural drainages dictate the geography, with Brown Creek and Difficulty Creek meandering through the territory. Specific landmarks like Devils Hole and the K L Clark Number 1 Dam indicate the intersection of the natural terrain with livestock and agricultural needs. Smaller water features like Twin Lakes further dot the plains, supporting the various operations at the Schroder Ranch, Ballard Ranch, and Popelka Ranch.
