About this map

Granite Mountain dominates the southwestern portion of this Madison County landscape, marking a significant rise within the Beaverhead National Forest. This 1990s revision reveals a region defined by its conservation areas and water resources, including the Wall Creek State Wildlife Mgmt Area which covers the northeastern sector. The flow of the Madison River cuts through the northeast, bordered by the Wolf Creek Ranch and the Principal Meridian boundary.

Evidence of early industry is found at the Prospects site near the Second Standard Parallel South, while the landscape is intricately drained by numerous waterways such as Quaking Aspen Creek, Gazette Creek, and the North Fork Wall Creek. High-elevation landmarks like Gold Butte and isolated water sources like English Spring provide specific reference points for researchers studying the land use and ranching history near the Kelly Ranch.
