2014 Map of Gouchnour Ranch

About this map

Gouchnour Ranch sits at the center of this landscape in Lewis and Clark County, where the plains meet the water management systems of the early twenty-first century. The area is defined by its complex irrigation and drainage network, including the Lame Ditch, Florence Canal, and the natural winding path of Spring Cr. These features highlight the importance of water rights and land use in this part of Montana, supporting ranching operations across the high country. In the northern reaches, Meyer Lake and Hogan Slough provide distinct landmarks among the surveyed township and range lines. Local thoroughfares like Camp Walker Rd and Dry Creek Rd connect the isolated ranching properties, tracing the routes used by generations of residents to navigate the terrain between Elk Cr and Dry Cr.
