2014 Map of Hammond Ranch

About this map

Hammond Ranch serves as a central landmark in this landscape defined by the drainage of Tullock Creek as it flows northward through the Big Horn and Treasure County line. The terrain is characterized by a series of low-lying areas known as bottoms, including Sullinger Bottom, Bird Bottom, and Turner Bottom, which suggest fertile grounds near the water's edge. This 2014 survey reveals a ranching geography where water sources are vital, highlighted by the location of Kendrick Spring and Summer Springs. The area is deeply dissected by numerous named coulees and draws such as Schrites Coulee, Smith Coulee, and Sawmill Draw, reflecting a complex network of seasonal drainage. While Tullock Rd provides the primary transit route, the map illustrates the persistence of traditional land names like McCurdy Draw and Gass Flat in this portion of Montana.
