2020 Map of P K Ranch SE

About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the southern edge of this Yellowstone County landscape, anchoring a region defined by historical overland travel and drainage systems. This area preserves the corridor of the Bozeman Trl, a vital historical route represented here alongside its modern namesake, Bozeman Trail Rd. The terrain is deeply dissected by seasonal watercourses, including the winding paths of Pompeys Pillar Cr and Railroad Cr, which drain the uplands toward the river valley. The map documents a sparse, rural road network including Bundy Rd and Railroad Creek Rd, illustrating the transition from historic western trails to modern section-line access. This 2020 survey is an essential resource for understanding how legacy transportation routes like the Bozeman Trail continue to shape the geography of the northern plains.
