2017 Map of Dupuyer East

About this map

Dupuyer serves as the primary settlement within this northern Montana landscape, where the agricultural life of the plains meets a complex network of water management. The terrain is defined by the three branches of the Marias River—the N Fork Dry Fork Marias River, Middle Fork Dry Fork Marias River, and S Fork Dry Fork Marias River. These waterways are supplemented by an extensive system of man-made irrigation, including the B Canal, B Four Ditch, and D Canal, illustrating the vital role of water rights and engineering in this semi-arid region. North of the Pondera and Teton County line, the map traces the drainage patterns of numerous coulees such as Hay Coulee and Woods Coulee. Local infrastructure is marked by rural thoroughfares like Birch Creek Colony Rd and Gypsy Basin Rd, which connect remote homesteads and ranching interests to the hub at Dupuyer.
