About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the southeastern corner of this landscape, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the surrounding Custer and Prairie County borderlands. The river's influence on local infrastructure is evident in the presence of the Shirley Main Canal and the alignment of travel corridors like W Old Highway 10 and Milwaukee Rd. Near the riverbanks, the small settlement of Bonfield and the point at Benz represent the sparse but critical human footprint in this semi-arid region.

North of the river, the terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Custer Cr, Gate Coulee, and the prominent Devils Backbone. These natural features, along with names like Yellowstone Coulee and Saugus Cr, illustrate the complex erosion patterns and coulees that characterize this part of Montana. The map provides a look at the rural road network, from Lapp Rd to Finneman Dr, which connects the high ground to the vital water resources of the valley.
