About this map

Yellowstone River dominates the southern landscape of this Custer and Prairie County border region, carving a wide path through the eastern Montana breaks. Near the river's south bank, the settlement of Bonfield and the nearby Benz siding mark the critical transportation corridor where the Shirley Main Canal runs parallel to established road networks like W Old Highway 10. This area illustrates a clear divide between the irrigated lowlands near the river and the complex drainage systems of the north. To the north and west, the terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees and creeks, including Yellowstone Coulee, Custer Cr, and the appropriately named Devils Backbone. The presence of the Milwaukee Rd through these breaks highlights the historical reliance on these natural gaps for passage through the high plains.
