About this map

Worden and its neighbor Ballantine anchor this 2011 survey of the Yellowstone Valley, situated where the high plains meet the fertile bottomlands of the Yellowstone River. The irrigation infrastructure essential to this region is clearly delineated, with the Huntley Canal Rd, Lower Canal Rd, and Canal Rd following the contours of the valley to support local agriculture. The Railroad Hwy cuts a straight path through the settlement of Knox, paralleling the historic rail corridor that historically connected these rural communities.

South of the river, the terrain rises toward Custer Coulee and is drained by the winding course of Arrow Creek. Modern civic landmarks are noted even in this rural landscape, including the Worden Vol Fire Dept Sta 1 Headquarters. The map captures the rigid grid of the township-and-range system, with numbered routes like N 12th Rd and S 18th Rd defining the local road network between the settlements.
