About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts a wide, braided path through this Montana landscape, where irrigation infrastructure like the Association Ditch and Suburban Ditch supported agricultural development north of the channel. The settlement of Yegen sits along the Burlington Northern railroad, serving as a transit point near Canyon Creek. Further north, the Montana Bible Institute and Holy Cross Cem mark the community's early social and religious anchors.

South of the river, the terrain shifts into a complex network of coulees and ridges drained by Blue Creek and Barth Creek. This area preserves local family history through the Ross Homestead and landmarks like the Blue Creek Sch. The inclusion of the Northern Trail and early broadcasting sites such as Radio Station (KGHL) reflects a landscape transitioning from pioneer routes to modern communications and transport during the mid-20th century.
