About this map

Home Park Ranch sits at the heart of this Madison County landscape, where the high-elevation terrain is defined by an intricate network of water management and mountain drainage. The map reveals the vital role of irrigation in the region, tracing numerous man-made channels such as the Snapp Donegan Ditch, Peterson Ditch, and Larrabee Ditch as they divert water across the plains. These features highlight the agricultural infrastructure necessary to sustain ranching in the shadow of the Beaverhead National Forest.

To the south, the topography rises sharply toward Snowcrest Mtn, dissected by several named drainages including Clovis Gulch, Powder Gulch, and Dark Hollow. Access to this high country is marked by Upper Ruby Rd and Ledford Creek Rd, which parallel the streams that feed into the Ruby River system. The presence of Donegan Slough and various forks of Greenhorn Cr further illustrates the complex hydrology of this part of the Montana range.
