2014 Map of Canyon Creek

About this map

Marysville and the surrounding peaks of the Lewis and Clark Range define this high-altitude landscape in central Montana. This terrain is marked by numerous drainages and irrigation works, such as the Gans Klein Ditch and Grady Ditch, which reflect the historical necessity of water management in the region's semi-arid environment. The settlement of Gloster and the village of Canyon Creek sit alongside a complex network of gulches, including Missouri Gulch and Drinkwater Gulch, suggesting a history of prospecting or ranching. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Marysville Cem, situated near the confluence of Silver Cr and Jennies Fork. The map also details early 21st-century infrastructure, such as Highway 279, winding through the mountains toward the Little Prickly Pear Cr drainage.
