About this map

Blackleaf sits at the base of the eastern Front, where the prairie begins its transition into the high foothills of the Rockies. This area is characterized by a network of drainage features including Middle Fork Dry Fork Marias River and the South Fork Dry Fork Marias River, which carve distinct paths through the landscape. Large portions of the territory are designated as the Blackfoot Valley Conservation Area, reflecting a landscape managed for habitat and open space.

Local ranching and land use patterns are evidenced by the network of named coulees, such as Ben English Coulee, Woods Coulee, and Gansman Coulee, which provided natural shelter and water sources for early operations. Rural access is maintained via a handful of designated routes including Blackleaf Rd and W Gypsy Basin Rd, connecting the scattered homesteads and conservation lands across the Teton County terrain.
