About this map

Lowry and Simms anchor this landscape of the northern Montana plains, situated at the confluence of several irrigation systems and the Sun River. The map reveals an intricate network of water management essential to the region's agricultural economy, featuring the Greenfields Main Canal, Hamilton Canal, and Floweree Canal. These engineered waterways follow the natural contours of the land, weaving around terrain features like Elbow Coulee and Loomis Coulee.

A notable point of infrastructure is the Sun River Bridge, which facilitates movement across the county boundaries of Teton and Cascade counties. The township and range lines define the vast, organized sections of the Great Plains, where small drainage features like Dipping Tank Cr and Duck Cr intersect with the larger Crown Butte Canal. This survey provides a clear view of the rural homesteads and local roads, such as Floweree Rd, that connect these remote farming communities.
