About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts across this Montana landscape, defining a corridor of heavy industry and transit north of the Yellowstone Co Big Horn Co boundary. The landmark Pompeys Pillar stands as a sentinel near the riverbanks, marking a site of deep historical significance long used by travelers. The era's irrigation infrastructure is well-defined by the Main Canal and Highline Canal, which transformed the arid terrain into productive land.

Railroad operations dominate the northern flats, with the Northern Pacific and Chicago Burlington and Quincy lines supporting small station points like Nibbe, Newton, and Anita. The inclusion of the Lewis and Clark Trail provides a spatial link to the region's earliest recorded exploration, while various industrial Gravel Pit sites and a Pump Sta indicate the mid-20th-century utility of the river valley.
