2014 Map of Highland Ranch

About this map

Highland Ranch sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape in Beaverhead County, where the terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Swamp Cr and Moose Cr. The area’s ranching legacy is etched into the land through names like the Hirschy Reservoir and the quiet presence of the Briston Cem near the southern boundary. This part of southwest Montana maintains a low-density settlement pattern, centered around these water sources and a network of arterial routes such as Gibbonsville Rd and Twin Lakes Rd. The geography transitions from valley floors to more complex ridges, with Rock Cr and Big Lake Cr carving through the eastern and southern sectors. The placement of the Briston Cem suggests a long-standing local community tied to the neighboring creek beds and cattle-rearing history of the Big Hole region.
