About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide corridor through this mid-century landscape, flanked by the Northern Pacific railroad and a network of irrigation ditches. The settlement pattern is defined by ranching and travel along the river valley, with several named landmarks reflecting local educational and social history. The presence of both New Schoolhouse Gulch and Old Schoolhouse Gulch south of the river suggests a shift in the local community's center over time, while the Howie Sch serves the northern portion of the quadrangle near Howie.

To the west, Milliken Sloughs and Milliken Creek create a complex wetland environment, while the eastern edge is defined by the convergence of Sweetgrass Creek and the main river. Other small family and commercial waypoints, such as Boe Ranch, Eatons Inn, and Overfelt, provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of Sweet Grass County before modern interstate infrastructure fully transformed the valley.
