About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the southeastern corner of this Custer and Prairie County landscape, serving as a primary corridor for both water and transport in the late 1960s. The northern bank is dominated by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which passes through the small siding of Bonfield. Further south, the Burlington Northern line tracks parallel to the river near the settlement of Benz. This area showcases the critical relationship between the river valley and early Montana infrastructure, where the Shirley Main Canal provides essential irrigation to the bottomlands. The surrounding terrain is a network of drainage systems, including Custer Creek, Hunter Creek, and Cabin Creek, which flow toward the Yellowstone. Occasional industrial marks like a Drill Hole and several wells suggest the early stages of resource exploration across these breaks.
