About this map

The Yellowstone River anchors this corner of eastern Montana, where the small community of Intake sits along its northern bank. The landscape is defined by the heavy carving of the Missouri Plateau, visible through numerous drainage features like Black Tail Coulee, Elm Coulee, and Wards Coulee. This 2017 study illustrates the intersection of natural river hydrology and human management, specifically highlighting the Main Canal which diverts water for regional irrigation.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Grand View Cem positioned on the high ground overlooking the river valley. The map also records the boundary line between Dawson Co and Richland Co, while tracking the paths of several seasonal waterways such as War Dance Cr, Linden Cr, and Thirteenmile Cr. Large river features like Joes Island are clearly delineated, showing the shifting nature of the waterway at the time of the survey.
