About this map

The Yellowstone River snakes through the eastern plains of Richland County, defining the agricultural and transport infrastructure of this Montana region. The city of Sidney serves as the primary hub, where a dense grid of streets like W Main St and E Holly St meets the Main Canal, a vital irrigation artery supporting the surrounding sugar beet and grain country. The landscape is a mix of flat river bottomlands and rising coulees, such as Spring Coulee and Youngs Coulee, that drain toward the river valley.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, including the Sidney Cem to the north and the Newlon Cem further south near the rail siding at Newlon Junction. Industrial and transit marks include the Sidney-Richland Municipal Airport and water management features like Vaux Reservoir Number Two. Significant thoroughfares, such as the Lewis and Clark Trl, trace the historical movement of travelers along the Yellowstone corridor.
