2017 Map of Kincheloe Ranch

About this map

Kincheloe Ranch and several other family-named ranching operations anchor this portion of the Montana plains along the border of Rosebud and Garfield counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and coulees, including Little Breed Cr, Big Breed Cr, and Jacobsen Coulee, which carve through the high ground. The most prominent terrain feature, the Rattlesnake Buttes, rises above Rattlesnake Coulee in the southwest corner of the map. This area remains largely defined by large-scale land holdings like Hill Ranch and Dutton Ranch, connected by improved surfaces such as Kincheloe Rd. The presence of McWilliams Springs and the convergence of Antelope Cr indicate the critical importance of water resources in this ranching country.
