2014 Map of Tampico

About this map

Milk River meandering through the Valley County plains defines the landscape around the settlement of Tampico. This 2014 survey captures a rural Montana community shaped by its waterways and agricultural infrastructure, where the Tampico Bridge provides a vital crossing point over the river's complex oxbows. The area is marked by a network of drainage coulees, including Unger Coulee and Hay Coulee, which cut through the surrounding ranch land. Aviation history in this corner of the state is represented by the Etchart Field Airport, situated north of the river. The map also traces an extensive system of rural roads such as Wheatland Rd and Billingsley Rd, reflecting the grid-based land management of the region. Natural water sources like Antelope Spring and seasonal flows such as Buggy Cr highlight the reliance on dispersed water points in this semi-arid environment.
