About this map

Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site anchors the southeastern portion of this landscape, preserving the legacy of open-range cattle ranching in the American West. The settlement of Garrison sits to the north, situated near the confluence of Willow Cr and drainage from Dry Gulch. This 2017 survey reveals a complex system of water management essential for high-plains agriculture, including the Rock Cr Ditch, Pauly Ditch, and the W Side Canal.

The topography is defined by numerous draws and gulches such as Mullan Gulch and Cottonwood Draw that feed into the valley. Further south, a cluster of water bodies including Conleys Lake, Tin Cup Lake, and Mud Lake lie near the Deer Lodge-City-County Airport. Local history is noted at Hillcrest Cem, while the winding path of S Old Stage Rd suggests historical transit corridors through the foothills.
