2011 Map of Bynum Reservoir

About this map

Bynum Reservoir dominates this high plains landscape in Teton County, serving as a central hub for a complex network of irrigation and water management. This hydraulic system is traced through the Bynum Reservoir Ditch and its connection to Muddy Creek and Miller Creek. To the south, the Teton River flows past landmarks like Poker Butte and McDonald Creek, illustrating the area's geological character. The map documents the enduring presence of western agricultural life through the Crary Ranch and Crawford Ranch, while additional water storage is noted at Harvey Lake and Farmers Reservoir. Managed by the Decuman Dam, these water resources define the settlement patterns and land use in this part of Montana.
