2011 Map of Gurnett Creek West

About this map

Doggett Ranch and Domer Ranch represent the enduring agricultural character of this Broadwater County landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map highlights a complex water management system essential to the high plains, including the Broadwater Missouri Canal, Highland Ditch, and Irish Ditch, which redirect flow from sources like Gurnett Creek and Duck Creek. To the west, the expansive Canyon Ferry Lake dominates the shoreline, while the eastern rising terrain is marked by extractive history at the NE NW Section 5 Mine and NW SE Section 6 Mine. This document provides a clear view of the ranching economy, tracing family-named properties such as the Mary Smith Ranch and Whaley Ranch alongside topographical landmarks like Black Butte.
