About this map

The Yellowstone River flows along the northern edge of this Yellowstone County landscape, where the terrain breaks away into a network of drainages and coulees. The interior of the sheet is dominated by the winding paths of Pryor Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which have carved deep valleys into the high plains. This 2011 survey captures a residential expansion characterized by evocative road names such as Yellowstone Trl, Boot Hill Rd, and White Buffalo Rd, reflecting a modern subdivision layout that follows the natural contours of the land.

Local topography is marked by notable features like Spring Coulee and Broken Leg Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology south of the river. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows less dense development, defined instead by the junction of Indian Creek and several unnamed seasonal washes. The alignment of Old Montana Rd and Hogan Rd suggests the historical transit corridors that preceded the modern highway system traversing the center of the region.
