About this map

The Yellowstone River cuts through this landscape, defining the boundary between the irrigated lowlands and the southern coulees. North of the river, an intricate network of irrigation channels like Eagle Ditch and Suburban Ditch supports agricultural settlements near Hogans and the Burlington Northern railroad siding at Yegen. This area is also a hub for early telecommunications, featuring the Radio Station (KGHL) and Radio Towers (KOOK) situated among the bottomlands.

Further south, the terrain shifts into a series of dissected ridges and drainage basins. Genealogists can locate the Ross Homestead near East Fork Duck Creek and the Holy Cross Cem near the river. Rural education and community life are represented by the Montana Bible Institute and the Blue Creek Sch, while landmarks like Brockway Coulee and Little Basin Creek provide a clear view of the natural topography outside the developed valley.
