About this map

Yellowstone River anchors the southern margin of this Yellowstone County landscape, where the valley floor transitions into the dissected uplands of south-central Montana. The terrain is defined by the drainages of Pompeys Pillar Creek and Railroad Creek, which carve through the sandstone breaks and ridges characteristic of the region north of the river. This 1970s-era topographic study highlights a rural environment dominated by water management and natural topography, with numerous wells scattered across the township sections to support livestock and land use. The map reveals the relationship between the river corridor and the high prairie, documenting the section lines and township boundaries of T 4 N and T 3 N that structured this part of the Big Sky country as it appeared in the late twentieth century.
