2014 Map of Finch

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide path through this portion of Rosebud County, defining the valley floor where the small settlements of Finch and Hammond Valley are situated. This modern survey illustrates how transportation has historically clung to the river's path, with Frontage Rd and the remnants of Old Highway 10 paralleling the water. To the north, the terrain rises into broken uplands carved by West Spring Coulee and East Spring Coulee, while Big Porcupine Cr flows southward from the hills toward the main river channel. Genealogists and local historians will find the Howard Cem located just north of the interstate corridor, near the transition into Howard Valley. The map detail captures a landscape of cattle ranching and river-bottom agriculture, where roads like Reservation Creek Rd and Walter Rd connect isolated homesteads to the primary transit arteries.
