2014 Map of Intake

About this map

The Yellowstone River anchors this landscape in eastern Montana, carving a wide path through Dawson and Richland counties. Along its northern banks, the small settlement of Intake serves as a focal point near the head of the Main Canal, a vital piece of water infrastructure that supports agriculture in this semi-arid region. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the surrounding plains, where seasonal waterways like War Dance Cr, Linden Cr, and Thirteenmile Cr have eroded the terrain into deep draws such as Black Tail Coulee.
