2017 Map of Hollenbeck Draw

About this map

The Clarks Fork Yellowstone River dominates this landscape along the Montana and Wyoming border, serving as the lifeblood for an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure. This 2017 survey details the complex system of gravity-fed water management required for agriculture in this arid region, including the Wills Ditch, Interstate Ditch, Doctor Ditch, and the Grove Cr Canal. The small settlement of Chance sits near the state line, providing a focal point for local history along with the nearby Chance Mountain View Cem and the Belfry Cem located further north. Notable terrain features like Hollenbeck Draw and Big Sand Coulee define the drainage patterns surrounding the river valley. The presence of the historical Meeteetsee Trl suggests long-standing transit corridors through this borderland, connecting the high plains across state boundaries.
