About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the northern reaches of this territory, where the Stillwater and Carbon County lines meet. This landscape is defined by its sophisticated irrigation network, designed to move water from the main river and Rock Creek into the surrounding valley. Engineers and local farmers established systems like the Italian Ditch, Dutton Canal, Clawson Ditch, and Joliet Ditch to sustain agriculture in this part of Montana.

South of the river, the terrain rises toward Harris Hill and Youngs Point, carved by drainage features such as Peck Gulch and Bellion Cr. The settlement of Montaqua serves as a focal point near the southern border, connected by a road network that includes Us-212 and the former route of Old US-10. These roads follow the natural contours of the land, linking ranch properties and providing access to landmarks like Cemetery Rd.
