2017 Map of Glendive

About this map

The Yellowstone River serves as the primary geographical divider in this Dawson County landscape, separating the residential streets of West Glendive from the main city of Glendive. On the eastern bank, the town's grid is constrained by the rising badlands topography, where deep drainage cuts like Cains Coulee and Graveyard Coulee intersect the built environment. This 2017 survey shows the proximity of educational and civic institutions to the town center, including Dawson Community College and the Dawson County Cemetery. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it enters Makoshika State Park, a region defined by dramatic erosion and features such as Kinney Coulee and the Iron Bluffs. The map illustrates how modern infrastructure, such as the Interstate 94 corridor, navigates these natural obstacles while connecting the larger settlements to smaller points like Curry.
