2017 Map of Worden

About this map

The Yellowstone River flows along the northern edge of this agricultural landscape, where the settlements of Worden and Ballantine serve as anchors for the local irrigation economy. The intricate network of the Huntley Main Canal and its various offshoots, such as the Huntley Canal Rd and Lower Canal Rd, define the land use patterns south of the river. This region demonstrates the intensive management of water in the high plains, with drainage features like Custer Coulee and Arrow Cr cutting through the terrain. Evidence of earlier transportation corridors is visible in the alignment of the Old Hwy 312 Railroad Rd, which connects the small community of Knox with the larger neighboring towns. The map captures a high-desert environment transformed by engineering, where gridded section lines meet the sinuous paths of irrigation ditches and ancient coulees.
