About this map

The Missouri River carves a deep path through this Montana landscape, marking the boundary between Broadwater and Gallatin Counties. The settlement of Lombard sits at a narrow point where Sixteenmile Cr flows out of the dramatic Sixteenmile Canyon, historically a critical junction for railroad engineering. Nearby, the Milwaukee Bridge spans the river, a reminder of the transcontinental rail infrastructure that once defined these corridors.

South of the canyon, the community of Clarkston and the residential area of Ponderosa Pines are situated in the broader valley floor, accessed by a network of local tracks like Old Coach Rd and Antelope Valley Rd. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as High Peak and The Buttes, while water management is visible via the Toston Canal in the northwest. Named gulches like Home Gulch and Pole Gulch indicate the drainage patterns and family landmarks that have shaped local ranching and land use for generations.
