About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide path through this portion of Stillwater County, anchoring the small settlement of Reed Point. In this modern 2011 survey, the community serves as a focal point for regional travel and irrigation, supported by the Reed Point Ditch and the Reedpoint Bridge. Historical movement through the river valley is evidenced by the traces of the Bozeman Trl, Overland Trl, and the Yellowstone Stage Trl, which reflect the early transportation corridors used by settlers and travelers through southern Montana.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain rises into the distinctive McClain Coulee and Monument Butte, with numerous drainage systems like Whistle Creek and Hump Creek dissecting the landscape. Local life is documented through features such as the Reed Point Cemetery, the Reedpoint Post Office, and the Cedar Hills Campground, while the surrounding prairie is marked by a network of rural routes including Jackstone Creek Rd and Gasline Hill Rd.
