About this map

The settlement of Pendroy serves as the focal point of this high plains landscape in Teton County, situated at the junction of MT-219 and Us-89. The map details a complex network of agricultural water management, most notably the Bynum Canal and C Canal, which cut through the undulating terrain of the Rocky Mountain Front's eastern slopes. The topography is defined by prominent benches and deep coulees, such as Porter Bench and Pondera Coulee, revealing the natural drainage patterns that have shaped the region's ranching and farming history.

Evidence of early 20th-century transportation is visible along Railroad Rd and Railroad Ave, tracing the path of former rail infrastructure that once linked these rural communities. Named landmarks like Spring Hill and Rattlesnake Coulee provide specific points of reference for local historians or genealogists interested in the early land claims of north-central Montana. The presence of numerous seasonal waterways, including Spring Cr and Jones Cr, illustrates the vital role of water access in this semi-arid environment.
