About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through the northern reaches of this landscape, flanked by a complex system of historical irrigation channels including Line Ditch, Krone Ditch, and Kent Ditch. These waterways supported the development of small settlements like Quebec and agricultural operations near The Greycliffs. The presence of the Kent Cem near the river provides a vital reference point for genealogists tracing family histories in this part of Montana.

Further south, the terrain transitions into a rugged series of drainages, characterized by Work Creek and named coulees such as Norwegian Gulch, Curtis Gulch, and Tom Benson Gulch. This 2024 map documents the continued significance of the Old US Hwy 10 corridor and its frontage roads, which follow the path of the river and original transport routes. The intersection of these modern roads with established landmarks like Big Spring Gulch offers a clear view of how land use and transit have shaped Sweet Grass County over the decades.
