About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the northern portion of this landscape, flanked by a complex system of irrigation infrastructure including Line Ditch, Krone Ditch, and Kent Ditch. These man-made waterways reflect the agricultural necessity of moving water from the river to the surrounding basins and valleys. The settlement of Quebec is positioned near the river, south of Shanks Basin, and provides a focal point for the transit corridor that follows the river's path, including Old US Hwy 10 and several frontage roads.

Steep terrain dominates the southern half of the quadrangle, characterized by numerous named drainages such as Norwegian Gulch, Tom Benson Gulch, and Big Spring Gulch. To the west, the prominent formation known as The Greycliffs rises above the valley floor. Genealogy researchers will find interest in Kent Cem, located just south of the river near the intersection of modern transportation routes and older ranch roads like Terland Rd.
