2020 Map of Gannett

About this map

Gannett and the surrounding irrigation landscape of Blaine County define this agricultural region, where the high desert meets the northern slopes of the Picabo Hills. The map illustrates a complex network of water management essential for high-altitude ranching, including the Stanfield Ditch, Highline Ditch, and Butler Drain. These man-made channels contrast with the natural flow of Silver Cr and Stalker Cr, which feed into the wetlands near Sullivan Lake. To the west, the Timmerman Hills rise sharply, marked by local naming conventions such as Hillside Ranch. This modern survey details the vital connections between water sources like Arrowhead Spring and the ranching homesteads that rely on them. Notable landmarks like the Kilpatrick Bridge provide specific points of reference for local historians and land surveyors tracking property boundaries across several townships.
