2014 Map of Utica

About this map

The settlement of Utica serves as the focal point of this landscape, situated at the confluence of the Judith River and Courneys Cr. This central Montana valley is defined by its complex irrigation and water management systems, including the Ackley Lake Feeder Canal and Waite Ditch, which redirect water through the region's characteristic coulees. The terrain transitions from the river valley floors to the high, broken ground of Big Coulee and Ellis Coulee, showing the deep erosion patterns of Spring Br and Antelope Cr. Local history is anchored by the Utica Cem south of the main town site, while the presence of Red Shed Lake to the north highlights the scattered water resources essential for life in the Judith Basin. The road network, including MT-239 and Wagon Wheel Rd, follows the natural contours and section lines of this agricultural corridor.
