Yellowstone River Corridor
2004/2007 Air Photos & GIS Data

The Yellowstone River Floodplain Mapping Project collected aerial photos, LiDAR-based elevation data, and topographic map data for the floodplain in 2004 and 2007. Vector GIS data may be used to make maps similar to this sample.

Stillwater, Yellowstone and Dawson Counties were mapped in 2004 and the remainder of the river corridor below Springdale was mapped in 2007. Aerial photos, digital elevation data, and vector gis roads, water bodies, structures, and topographic contours are available.

The topographic data and air photos may be viewed with the Montana GIS Portal Map Viewer. Go to http://gisportal.mt.gov and click on the Map Viewer link near the upper right corner. Type Yellowstone River data in the search box. A variety of Yellowstone River data should be returned. Select the entry entitled Aerial Photos and Planimetric map data, Yellowstone River Corridor, Montana and North Dakota, 2004 and 2007. Click on Add to Map to load the data into the Map Viewer. You may zoom in to any part of the river and turn the photos and planimetric layers on and off.
