Yellowtail Dam and the surrounding Bighorn Canyon Natl Rec Area define this northern Montana landscape where the Bighorn River is harnessed for power and recreation. The settlement of Fort Smith serves as the primary hub for the area, located just downstream from the Bighorn Lake reservoir and the Yellowtail Afterbay Dam. This 2011 survey illustrates the complex infrastructure required for water management and regional electricity, including the Powerhouse Yellowtail Dam and the Bighorn Canal.
