2014 Map of Bluewater

About this map

Teeples Ranch Cem serves as a small, grounded focal point for local history in this portion of Carbon County, Montana. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated water management and drainage network, featuring man-made irrigation routes like Orchard Ditch and O'Connor Ditch that run alongside natural waterways. The terrain rises and falls from the depths of Bachelder Canyon to the heights of Two Bear Ridge, a topography fed by numerous water sources including Bluewater Spring and Cherry Springs. The flow of Bluewater Cr and its N Fork Bluewater Cr anchor the local geography, while secondary streams such as Frosty Jack Cr and Skunk Cr cut through the sections. This 2014 survey documents a modern rural landscape where traditional ranching landmarks and sophisticated water rights remain central to the area's identity.
