About this map

Comanche and its surrounding high plains landscape in Yellowstone County are defined by a network of drainage creeks and ranch roads in this 2014 survey. The topography transitions from the level expanses of Comanche Flat to the more varied terrain of Devils Hole. Water is a scarce but vital resource in this semi-arid region, marked by Twin Lakes and the winding paths of Brown Cr and Difficulty Cr.

Local genealogy and land history are anchored by the Comanche Cem located near the intersection of Mt-3 and W Comanche Rd. The map illustrates a rural transport system including Popelka Rd and Ballard Ivie Rd, which provide access to the dispersed agricultural plots and homesteads. This detailed record of the early 21st-century landscape preserves the township and range boundaries that have shaped Montana land ownership since the era of settlement.
