2024 Map of Greenfield

About this map

Greenfield sits at the heart of an engineered agricultural landscape in Teton County, where a complex network of irrigation infrastructure transforms the Montana plains. The topography is defined by a series of geographic steps including the Third Bench, Second Bench, and First Bench, alongside the expansive Greenfields Bench. Water management is the primary driver of settlement here, evidenced by the extensive Greenfields Main Canal and the Plummer Lateral, which feed into numerous drainage systems like Thompson Drain and Drain E. The small settlement of Cordova appears in the northern portion of the map, situated amidst a grid of rural roads. The landscape transition between the flat benches and the natural carving of Spring Coulee and Cascade Coulee reveals the intersection of natural hydrology and human-made water diversion essential for high-plains farming.
