About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide path through this portion of Rosebud County, defining the agricultural and transport corridor of the region. Along its southern bank, the Yellowstone Canal runs parallel to the water, supporting the small settlement at Finch. This area is characterized by a mix of river bottomlands and the dissected uplands to the north and south, where drainage systems like Big Porcupine Cr and Horse Cr carve into the terrain.

South of the river, the landscape rises into the Howard Valley, where the Howard Cem serves as a localized landmark for genealogical interest. The transport network is anchored by Old Hwy 10 and the Frontage Rd, which follow the historical path of travel through the valley. Further south, Reservation Creek and Hay Cr drain the higher ground, illustrating the transition from the river plains to the more varied coulee country seen at West Spring Coulee.
