About this map

Agricultural water management and family-owned ranching land define this area of Cascade County during the early 21st century. The drainage patterns of Henry Creek and Birdtail Creek are supplemented by an intricate network of irrigation features, including the Knudson Ditch, Garino Ditch, and Hultine Ditch. These human-made waterways serve established local properties such as the Levine Ranch and Kennedy Ranch.

South of the Birdtail Divide, the landscape transitions toward Long Coulee and the Frank Thompson Dam. The topographic relief is marked by prominent landmarks like Sullivan Hill, while rural connectivity is maintained through gravel routes such as Long Butte Rd and Birdtail Rd. This survey documents a traditional Montana ranching corridor where the placement of the Beartooth Ranch and Dear Ranch reflects long-standing land use tied to the region's reliable water sources.
