About this map

Fort Logan and the legacy of the western frontier define this landscape in Meagher County. The presence of the Old Military Reservation Boundary provides a clear spatial link to the region's 19th-century history, while the Kinyon Cem offers a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians. The Smith River snakes through the center of the sheet, joined by numerous tributaries including Cottonwood Creek and Whitetail Deer Creek.

Water management is a central theme, evidenced by several irrigation and stock works such as Doggett Reservoir, Keep Cool Reservoir, and Ayers Reservoir. These features, along with Soldiers Lake, illustrate the adaptation of the arid Montana terrain for ranching and agricultural use. The network of gulches, such as Benton Gulch, indicates the complex drainage patterns feeding into the river valley.
