About this map

Canyon Ferry Lake dominates the western edge of this Broadwater County landscape, where the waters of the Missouri River meet the engineering of the Broadwater Canal. The map reveals a transition from the level agricultural lands near the lake to the rising eastern foothills, a terrain cut by drainage systems including Gurnett Creek, Ray Creek, and the North Fork Duck Creek.

Evidence of local industry and rural infrastructure is scattered across the township lines, from modern Grain Bins to scattered Prospects and a Shaft in the higher elevations near Black Butte. This 1980s-era documentation captures a land defined by water management and resource extraction, tracing small features like Roberts Spring and Little Cottonwood Creek as they descend toward the Missouri valley.
