About this map

Grant and the nearby settlement of Horse Prairie serve as the focal points for this high-altitude cattle ranching landscape in Beaverhead County. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated irrigation network necessary for high-plains agriculture, including the Hans Peterson Ditch, Jagger Ditch, and Paiment Ditch, which redirect water from Horse Prairie Creek and Dunlap Creek. This intricate system of water rights and ranching infrastructure reveals how early 21st-century landowners managed the arid environment below the Rocky Hills.

To the north, the landscape rises into a series of drainages like Badger Gulch and Sheep Corral Gulch. Notable land management and access routes such as Bannack Bench Rd and the Corinne Trl provide the primary connectivity through these expansive sections. The presence of named ranching infrastructure like the Mansfield-Prohosky Ditch and Cross Ranch Ditch highlights the continued legacy of family-run operations and established water claims in this part of Montana.
