About this map

The Yellowstone River snakes across the northern reaches of this Yellowstone County landscape, where the agricultural valley meets the rising terrain of Custer Coulee and Cabin Cr. Irrigation is central to the development of this region, evidenced by the prominent course of the Huntley Main Canal and the network of service roads such as Huntley Canal Rd and Lower Canal Rd. These waterways parallel the historic transportation corridor of the Railroad Hwy, which anchors the small settlements of the area.

Local life is concentrated in the small communities of Worden, Ballantine, and Knox, situated along the rail line and Old Hwy 312. To the south, the terrain becomes more complex as Arrow Cr cuts through the uplands. This map documents a rural Montana environment where the 19th-century railroad and irrigation projects continue to dictate the modern road grid and settlement patterns of the Huntley Project area.
