2014 Map of Stipek

About this map

The Yellowstone River serves as the central artery for this portion of Dawson County, carving a wide valley through the eastern Montana landscape. The settlement of Stipek sits along the northern banks, while the growth of Glendive and West Glendive dominates the southern reach of the map. Elevated terrain features like Custers Lookout and Bryants Buttes overlook the river bottomlands, where numerous smaller tributaries including Lower Sevenmile Cr and Deer Creek converge. The area is defined by the transition from river-side agriculture and development to the higher benchlands. Irrigation and water management are evident in features such as Crisafulli Lake and Hollecker Lake, which support the local community. Significant infrastructure, including MT-16, connects these riverside communities and follows the natural corridor created by the river valley.
