2017 Map of Horseshoe Creek

About this map

Edilou and the neighboring community of Hillman sit at the southern edge of this Gallatin County survey, where the terrain begins to transition from the river valley toward the elevated draws of the Horseshoe Hills. In the north, the small settlement of Menard and the nearby Menard Wye mark a historic junction of travel routes including Menard Rd and Pass Creek Rd. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, with Dry Creek and Menard Creek carving paths through the rolling topography toward the East Gallatin River at Spaulding Bridge. Genealogists will find notable sites like the Dry Creek Cemetery near Pheasant Lane and the isolated Fly Cemetery to the west. Distinctive geographical features like Chipmunk Gulch and Little Horseshoe Basin provide a detailed look at the area's natural landmarks between the ridges of Little Round Mountain.
