About this map

Jellison Place and the Capser Ranch anchor this high-plains landscape in Wheatland County, where the hydrology of the Hopley Creek system defines the settlement pattern. This 2011 survey reveals a territory where water management is paramount, evidenced by the Jellison Reservoir, Middle Fork Reservoir, and numerous named water sources such as Muir Spring and Forks Spring.

The drainage network fans out from Spotted Ridge, with the Middle Fork Hopley Creek and East Fork Hopley Creek cutting through the terrain. The presence of Dry Gulch and the S Fork Dry Spot Creek suggests the seasonal nature of the local environment. Road 382 provides the primary transit through these ranch lands, connecting the scattered springs and water features that have historically supported livestock and rural life in this part of Montana.
