About this map

Pishkun Reservoir dominates this high-plains landscape in Teton County, serving as a critical node in the regional irrigation infrastructure. The 2011 survey reveals a complex water management system, defined by the winding course of the Sun River Slope Canal and the Pishkun Canal Rd that tracks its path. This network reflects the vital role of water engineering in sustaining the agricultural economy of the Montana benchlands.

The terrain is further marked by natural drainages such as Deep Creek and the distinctive indentation of Quigley Coulee. A grid of rural routes, including S Bellview Rd and W Spring Valley Rd, connects the scattered farmsteads and rangelands surrounding the reservoir. These corridors provide a detailed look at the modern rural layout, where historical water rights and land use patterns continue to shape the geography of the Sun River watershed.
