2017 Map of Laurel

About this map

The city of Laurel serves as a significant regional hub where the Yellowstone River and Clarks Fork Yellowstone River converge, shaping the agricultural and industrial character of the valley. A complex network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Big Ditch, Mason Canal, and Italian Ditch, underscores the area's long-standing reliance on water management for ranching and farming. North of the city, the terrain rises toward Clappers Flat and the drainage of Dry Cr, while the southwestern reaches are marked by the White Horse Bench. Aviation plays a notable role in the local landscape, with three distinct facilities present: the Laurel Municipal Airport, Cottonwood Airport, and Fly WM Airport. Transport routes like Old US Hwy 10 W and the E B N RD rail corridor further illustrate the town's position as a crossroads between Yellowstone and Stillwater counties.
