Just east of Bozeman, a traditional farmstead is enveloped by creeping residential and commercial dveleopment.  Any boundary between "urban" and "rural" is haphazardly arranged with no organization.  Worse, yes pockets of "open space" exist but over time they hold less and less value for wildlife, save for "weedy" white-tailed deer that can thrive almost anywhere while elk, mule deer and moose cannot.
