2001 Map of Gurnett Creek East

About this map

Family ranches define the high-country settlement patterns of the Helena National Forest in this central Montana landscape. The map reveals a network of working lands including the Perkins Ranch, Dixon Ranch, and Huth Ranch, many situated along the perennial flows of Duck Creek and Gurnett Creek. The abundance of Grain Bins and specific water sources like Hard Cash Spring and Moonshine Spring points to a landscape balancing livestock grazing with small-scale agriculture. Geographic markers like Pilot Knob and Hooligans Hill provide distinct navigational aids across the complex terrain of the Townsend Ranger District. This 2001 revision also tracks the boundary line between Broadwater and Meagher counties near the high vantage point of Duck Creek Pass.
