2020 Map of Sanders

About this map

The Sanders settlement sits at the heart of this Treasure County landscape, where the wide braided channels of the Yellowstone River dictate the local geography. The map reveals an intricate irrigation network essential to this semi-arid region, featuring the Yellowstone Canal and the Hysham Canal which parallel the river's southern bank. To the north, the terrain transitions into a series of named drainages and topographic depressions, including the evocative Starved to Death Cr and the broad expanse of Mission Valley. These landforms, along with Roach Coulee and Deveny Coulee, illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of the Yellowstone valley's northern rim. Transportation corridors like Old Hwy 10 and Mission Valley Rd follow the natural contours of the river valley, marking the historical and modern transit routes through this section of eastern Montana.
