About this map

Sun River meanders across the border of Teton and Lewis and Clark Counties, defining a landscape shaped by a sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure. This 2017 survey shows the intricate water management systems of the Montana plains, where the Sun River Slope Canal and Floweree Canal cut through the terrain to support regional agriculture. The settlement of Gilman sits near the southwestern corner of the sheet, shadowed by the rising elevation of Gilman Hill.

Throughout the region, numerous coulees like School Section Coulee and Maloney Coulee provide drainage toward the river. To the south, the terrain includes Meyer Hill and the adjacent Meyer Lake, while man-made watercourses such as the Lytle Clemons Ditch and Bickle Burke Ditch reflect the ongoing human engineering of the river valley. The map documents a sparsely populated but highly organized rural environment where section lines and farm roads like Gilman Rd dictate the movement across the high plains.
