About this map

Olson Place and Garlipee Ranch stand as primary markers of human settlement in this high plains landscape of central Montana. The hydrology of the region is defined by the branching paths of Simms Creek, including the North Fork Simms Creek and South Fork Simms Creek, which drain the open terrain. Managed water resources are evident through features like the Blooming Creek Dam and Flicked BIC Dam, illustrating the infrastructure required for ranching and agriculture. In the far northern reach, the Crown Butte Canal diverts water across the prairie. Transportation is limited to a sparse network of rural routes, primarily Simms Creek Rd and Long Butte Rd, which connect these distant homesteads and water management sites.
