About this map

The Sun River flows through this portion of Cascade County, defining a landscape shaped by a complex network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure. This modern survey illustrates how water management systems like the Greenfield South Canal, Sun River Valley Ditch, and Canal K interface with natural waterways such as Mill Coulee Creek and Muddy Creek. The settlement of Sun River serves as the primary local hub, featuring established community landmarks including the Sun River Post Office, the Sun River Vol Fire Dept, and the Sun River Cemetery.

Further east, the map identifies the location of Dracut Junction, situated at a key intersection of regional transit routes. The surrounding terrain is grid-marked by numerous local thoroughfares like Dracut Hill Rd and Sun River Cascade Rd, which connect the scattered agricultural holdings and rural residences. This survey provides a clear view of how early 21st-century Montana land use remains closely tied to the controlled movement of water through the valley.
