2017 Map of Bluewater

About this map

Bluewater Creek and its complex network of springs and irrigation infrastructure define this landscape in Carbon County. The map details an arid environment where water management is paramount, evidenced by the presence of the O'Connor Ditch and Orchard Ditch. High ground is marked by features like Two Bear Ridge and the deep incision of Bachelder Canyon. For those researching local ranching history, the Teeples Ranch Cem provides a specific genealogical anchor near Prewett Spring. The terrain transitions from these ridges down to numerous named water sources including Big Bluewater Spring, Cherry Springs, and Bachelder Spring, illustrating the vital role of natural aquifers in this part of Montana.
