About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the western edge of this landscape, where the state boundary separates Richland County, Montana, from McKenzie County, North Dakota. This 1990s revision reveals a region defined by the Little Missouri National Grassland and the distinctive topography of the Missouri River Breaks. Local infrastructure supports both agriculture and industry, with features such as the East Sidney Substation, multiple gas plants, and a Pumping Station situated near the riverbanks.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy land use through named landmarks like the R Burns Ranch, Christenson Ranch, and the Dodge Windmill. Evidence of natural resource extraction is present at the Tyler Mine and various gravel pits. The complex hydrology of the area is mapped through numerous drainages, including Cheney Creek, Bennie Peer Creek, and Alkali Creek, which thread through the broken terrain east of the main river valley.
