2020 Map of Nibbe

About this map

The Yellowstone River and its complex irrigation systems define this part of the Montana landscape, where the northern plains meet the river valley. The corridor is shaped by the Huntley Main Canal and Highline Canal, which provide the essential water infrastructure for agriculture in this arid region. Small rail-side and roadside settlements like Nibbe, Newton, and Mann dot the path of Old Hwy 312 and the adjacent rail line, illustrating the historical importance of transport links along the river valley. To the northeast, the iconic Pompeys Pillar stands as a significant landmark above the riverbank. This map captures the transition from the irrigated bottomlands near Anita to the higher, more open country of the Yellowstone and Big Horn County line to the south, marked by the confluence of Arrow Creek and the main river channel.
