About this map

The Madison River dominates this Madison County landscape, where the town of Ennis serves as a central hub for the surrounding ranching and recreation valley. During the late 1980s, the irrigation network—represented by features like the Indian Cr Ditch and the McDeed Well—demonstrates the vital role of water management on the Cameron Bench.

Smaller settlements and landmarks provide significant genealogical and local-history value, including the community of Jeffers and the southern grouping at Tolman. The map documents the area's transition towards modern utility and transport, noted by the Big Sky Airport, a Radio Facility, and localized industrial features such as a Gravel Pit. Braided stream patterns of O'Dell Creek and Jack Creek highlight the dynamic nature of this valley floor before it rises toward the eastern foothills.
