2024 Map of Bozeman Hot Springs

About this map

The Gallatin River valley serves as the central artery for this complex landscape of irrigation and settlement. A sophisticated network of man-made waterways, including the Highline Canal, Farmers Canal, and West Gallatin Canal, distributes water across the plains to support the agricultural heritage of the region. Localized communities like Four Corners and West Gallatin anchor the road network, while smaller named points such as Gilroy, Kerns, and Holland reflect the historical rural density. The presence of Bozeman Hot Springs highlights the unique geothermal character of the area, situated near the transition from the flat river valley to the rising terrain of Pine Butte. The intricate web of historic ditches, such as the Spain-Ferris-Fork Ditch and Ketterer Ditch, demonstrates a century-long reliance on shared water resources to define property and land use in Gallatin County.
