2017 Map of Sidney NE

About this map

The Yellowstone River winds through the western edge of this landscape at the border of Montana and North Dakota, defining the boundary between Richland and McKenzie counties. This 2017 survey reveals a sparsely populated terrain dominated by ranching infrastructure and natural watercourses. Much of the eastern portion is protected as part of the Little Missouri National Grassland, where the land is carved by deep drainages like Estes Coulee and Cheney Cr. The map documents a network of county roads, such as Bennie Peer Rd and Co Rd 126, which connect remote homesteads and agricultural sites like the McGlynn Reservoir. Evidence of local hydrology is found in features like Estes Spring and Alkali Cr, illustrating the vital importance of water management in this high-plains environment.
