2011 Map of Gorham

About this map

The settlement of Gorham sits at the heart of this rangeland in Billings County, where a system of creeks and rivers carves through the landscape. This 2011 survey documents a community tied to the land, where named homesteads like the Bassaraba Ranch, Haverluk Ranch, and Ewoniuk Ranch define the local geography. The drainage patterns are intricate, led by Magpie Creek in the north and the Green River to the south, with Whitetail Creek and Betsy Creek winding between the properties. Local heritage is preserved at sites like Saint Jacobs Cemetery and Saint Josephat Cemetery, which serve as permanent markers of the families who settled this portion of the Badlands. In addition to agricultural activity, the map identifies the Whitetail Picnic Area and Yourk Dam, suggesting the managed use of water resources and public lands within this rural corridor.
