2020 Map of Horseshoe Creek

About this map

Menard and the nearby junction at Menard Wye anchor this Gallatin County landscape, where the northern high ground of the Horseshoe Hills gives way to the drainage of the East Gallatin River in the south. The map documents a rural network of ranch roads and small settlements like Accola, Hillman, and Edilou connected by Dry Creek Rd. Genealogists will find the locations of Fly Cem near the western edge and Dry Creek Cem further south particularly useful for locating family sites. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the river bottom up to summits like Round Mtn and Little Round Mtn, while seasonal watercourses such as Little Horseshoe Cr and Quagle Cr carve out deep basins and gulches.
