Process step:
The most recent version (5/28/09) of the Carbon County cadastral database was downloaded from the GIS Bureau, Montana Information Technology Services Division. Parcels with a levy district equal to the City of Red Lodge were queried and highlighted. A polygon boundary was drawn around the selected parcels using the parcel boundaries as the edge. In areas were the boundary was believed to be the middle of a street or highway, the Carbon County road centerline database was used to define the boundary.
