About this map

Shields River flows through this ranching corridor north of Livingston, anchoring a landscape defined by generational family holdings. The settlement of Chadborn sits at a geographic crossroads where several major drainages, including Kay Creek and Willow Creek, converge with the river. This 2011 survey documents a deep-rooted agricultural community, illustrated by the density of named family properties such as the Chadbourne Ranch, Francis Brothers Ranch, and Keys Brothers Ranch.

Transportation and infrastructure are geared toward the needs of these sprawling operations, notably at the Foster Ranches Airport and along various rural routes like Old Clyde Park Rd and Castle Mountain Rd. The hydrography of the region is highly detailed, showing the network of tributaries like Chicken Creek, Tobin Creek, and Bangtail Creek that support the area's cattle and hay production. Local history is etched into the map through features like the Palmer Ditch, reflecting the importance of water rights in this valley.
