About this map

The Gallatin River valley serves as the central corridor for this 2020 topographic record, illustrating the sophisticated irrigation network that sustains the agricultural landscape near Gallatin Gateway. An intricate system of man-made waterways, including the Farmers Canal, Highline Canal, and numerous family-named ditches like the Allison Lewis Ditch and Cockrell Ditch, reveals the vital role of water management in Gallatin County.

Evidence of early regional history is preserved at the Salesville Cem and the settlement of Atkins, while the transition into higher elevations is marked by the boundary of the Gallatin National Forest. Features such as Williams Bridge and Gateway Bridges pinpoint key crossings that have historically connected these rural communities. The map also documents modern land use, from the Briar Creek Airport to recreational landmarks like the Noon Mark summit and Tom Lay Prairie.
