About this map

The Yellowstone River winds through the heart of Treasure County, defining the agricultural and transport corridors of this Montana landscape. At the center of this river valley lies Pease Bottom, a fertile low-lying area supported by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure including the Rancher Ditch, the Hysham Main Canal, and the Yellowstone Canal. The small settlement of Myers serves as a focal point near the river's edge, connected by the Myers Bridge and historic routes like Old Hwy 10.

The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts, from the river-bottom lands of Howrey Island to the prominent rising elevations at Guys Bluffs. To the north and south, the valley is framed by drainage features such as Muggins Cr and Buckingham Coulee. This layout illustrates the critical reliance on the river and its diverted waters to sustain ranching and farming in an otherwise semi-arid environment.
