2011 Map of Mossmain

About this map

The Yellowstone River and Clarks Fork Yellowstone River converge in this section of the Yellowstone Valley, defining a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and agricultural engineering. The settlement of Mossmain serves as a central point for transportation, situated along Old Highway 10 and the interstate corridor. To the north, the small community of Hesper is surrounded by the winding course of Canyon Creek, while the Laurel Stockyards and Laurel Municipal Airport indicate the industrial and logistical importance of the area. A complex system of water management is visible through features like the Mason Canal and High Ditch, which redirect water from the rivers to support the surrounding valley floor. This 2011 survey captures the transition between the agricultural outskirts of Laurel and the residential development encroaching from the east.
