About this map

Piedmont and Renova sit along the eastern reaches of this landscape, where the Jefferson River winds through the valley floor. The area is defined by a sophisticated water management system involving the Jefferson Canal, Pleasant Valley Ditch, and Creeklyn Ditch, reflecting the critical role of irrigation in this part of Montana. To the west, the namesake settlement of Vendome is situated near the drainage of Fish Creek, which flows southeast toward the Fish Creek Cemetery.

Evidence of mineral exploration and historical travel is preserved through various section-based mining sites, including the SW NW Section 16 Mine and NE SW Section 29 Mine. Local transportation history is marked by routes like Old Stagecoach Rd and Stagecoach Rd, while the rugged geography of Cedar Gulch and Perry Canyon provides a clear view of the transition from the river bottom to the higher elevations surrounding Big Pipestone Creek.
