2014 Map of Kinsey

About this map

The Yellowstone River carves a significant path through this landscape, defining the geographic and economic character of the region. The settlement of Kinsey serves as a focal point for an extensive irrigation network, with the Kinsey Middle Canal, Kinsey Lower Canal, and Kinsey Highline Canal branching out to manage water resources across the valley. This system of canals suggests a deeply rooted agricultural history reliant on river diversion. To the southwest, the community of Tusler sits near the riverbanks, where geographic features like Buffalo Rapids and Dixons Rapids indicate the river's natural turbulence and navigational challenges. Transport across the water is anchored by the Kinsey Bridge, while a network of rural roads such as Lower Rd and Tusler Rd connects the scattered homesteads and irrigation works. Numerous drainages, including Muster Cr and Dixon Cr, feed into the main river valley from the surrounding uplands.
