2001 Map of Holker

About this map

Canyon Ferry Lake and the Missouri River define the western corridor of this Broadwater County landscape as it appeared at the turn of the 21st century. The map illustrates a complex water management and agricultural network, featuring the Missouri Broadwater Canal, Fairchild Ditch, and Montana Ditch which feed the local valley. Notable family holdings like Daniels Ranch and Welch Ranch sit alongside community hubs including the Rodeo Ground and Townsend Airport. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial sites such as Holy Cross Cem and Deep Creek Cem. The transition from the river valley into the foothills is marked by the Helena National Forest boundary and several seasonal drainages like Cottonwood Creek and Boone Run, highlighting the intersection of public land and private ranching.
