2014 Map of Jellison Place

About this map

Jellison Place marks a central point of activity within this high-country landscape on the border of Judith Basin and Wheatland counties. Much of the area is protected as part of the Lewis & Clark National Forest, characterized by a complex network of drainages and named canyons like Dark Canyon and Sawmill Canyon. Water management is a defining feature of the local geography, with various improvements such as the Middle Fork Reservoir and Jellison Reservoir capturing the flow from numerous mountain sources. Ranching and land use are evidenced by named features such as Freezers Bottom and the concentration of springs, including Beecher Spring, Muir Spring, and Hopley Spring. The terrain rises toward Spotted Ridge in the north, while the southern reaches are traversed by the Middle Fork Rd, following the winding path of Middle Fork Hopley Cr.
