About this map

The confluence of the Yellowstone River and the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River dominates this 2014 survey of the western outskirts of Billings. This landscape is defined by the transition from the irrigated river valley floors to the higher benchlands. The industrial and transit importance of the region is evident at the rail and road junction of Mossmain, situated just east of the city of Laurel. Evidence of the area's agricultural engineering is visible through the Mason Canal and High Ditch, which redirect water across the terrain to support the surrounding plains.

Residential growth is concentrated in pockets like Hesper and Yegen, while the Laurel Municipal Airport serves as a local aviation landmark. To the south, the topography becomes more complex along E Fork Duck Cr and the ridges rising from the river valley. The map documents a contemporary view of the transportation corridors and water management systems that sustain this portion of Yellowstone County.
