2017 Map of Canyon Ferry SW

About this map

Canyon Ferry Lake dominates the eastern landscape of this Montana quadrangle, where the waters of the Missouri River reservoir meet the rugged rising slopes of the Spokane Hills. The topography here is defined by deep drainages such as Hellgate Gulch, Sheriff Gulch, and Crittenden Gulch, which channel snowmelt toward the lake. The southern portion of the map transitions into more level terrain near the community of Winston, a settlement situated along a corridor of transport and water that includes Beaver Cr and Antelope Cr. Local history is anchored by the Winston Cem and various family-named landmarks like Furman Lr, reflecting the ranching and rural character of Broadwater Co. A network of unpaved and local roads, including Lf Baum Rd and Lazy Hm Rd, provide access to the small residential cluster at Spokane Creek.
