About this map

The Missouri River corridor in Broadwater County is defined by a complex network of agricultural irrigation and ranching life in the mid-1980s. The landscape transitions from the waters of Canyon Ferry Lake in the northwest to the rugged drainage basins of Deep Creek and Greyson Creek. The prevalence of the Montana Ditch and numerous unnamed canals underscores the vital role of water management in this high-plains environment.

Local ranching heritage is anchored by the Holker Ranch, while the community’s social and industrial markers include a Golf Course, Rodeo Ground, and scattered Grain Bins. Genealogists may find value in the small Cem located near the river, while physical landmarks like Diamond Gulch and the Gravel Pit offer specific points of interest for researchers studying the land use of this Broadwater County interior.
