2017 Map of Mossmain

About this map

The confluence of the Yellowstone River and the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River dominates this landscape on the western edge of the Billings area. The map illustrates a complex network of water management essential to the region's development, featuring the Billings Bench Water Association Canal, the Mason Canal, and High Ditch. These irrigation features cut through the terrain alongside the transit corridor connecting Laurel and the smaller settlements of Mossmain, Hesper, and Yegen. To the north, the Laurel Municipal Airport sits near residential expansions, while the southern portion of the quadrangle transitions into the drainage basins of Duck Creek and Dry Creek. This survey captures the intersection of industrial transport and traditional river-valley geography during a period of steady growth.
