2020 Map of Pendroy

About this map

The high plains of Teton County are defined by a complex network of coulees and irrigation infrastructure, as seen in this 2020 record of the area around Pendroy. The settlement sits near the center of the sheet at the junction of Railroad Ave and 32nd Rd NW, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and farming landscape. To the north, the prominent Porter Bench overlooks the drainage of Pondera Coulee, while the southern reaches are marked by the rolling descent toward Spring Hill. Modern water management is evident through the path of the Bynum Canal and the C Canal, which cut across the natural drainages of Miller Coulee and Rattlesnake Coulee. This landscape illustrates the persistent relationship between the high benchlands and the essential creek systems like Jones Cr and N Fork Muddy Cr that support agriculture in this part of Montana.
