About this map

The Yellowstone River flows through this corner of eastern Montana, shaping the development of Sidney and its surrounding communities. This 2011 map documents the city as it serves as a regional hub, featuring the Richland County Fairgrounds and the Sidney-Richland Municipal Airport. The landscape is a mix of agricultural utility and municipal infrastructure, evidenced by the managed waters of Vaux Reservoir No 1 and Factory Lake near the riverbanks.

Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint several significant burial grounds, including Sidney Cemetery and the more secluded Pioneer Cemetery and Newlon Cemetery. Small settlements like Riverview and Newlon Junction are detailed alongside distinct topographical features such as Bell Hill, Spring Coulee, and Youngs Coulee, providing a clear record of the area's physical and social geography at the start of the second decade of the 21st century.
