About this map

The Yellowstone River dictates the geography of this eastern Montana landscape, flowing past the settlement of Intake. This area is defined by the critical water infrastructure of the Lower Yellowstone Diversion Dam, which manages river flow near Joes Island. The map reveals a network of drainage systems cutting through the prairie, including the winding paths of Thirteenmile Creek, Linden Creek, and War Dance Creek.

Upland from the river valley, the topography features distinctive landforms like Elm Coulee and Wards Coulee, while the Grand View Cemetery sits on higher ground overlooking the river's path. Local transport is anchored by Intake Rd and Bloomfield Rd, providing a detailed look at the rural road grid that serves the ranches and agricultural interests of Dawson County. The presence of the diversion dam highlights the intersection of natural hydrology and man-made irrigation efforts in this semi-arid region.
