2017 Map of Kirby Ranch

About this map

Kirby Ranch sits in a high-plains landscape defined by the drainage networks of eastern Montana. This area of Garfield County is characterized by winding watercourses including Second Cr and Long Br Cr, which cut through the terrain to form landmarks like Lynch Coulee. The map illustrates the sparse, ranch-oriented infrastructure of the region, where gravel routes such as Uthaug Rd connect isolated homesteads across township lines. The intricate drainage of the W Fork Second Cr and E Fork Long Br Cr reveal the natural erosion patterns typical of this part of the Missouri River watershed, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the northern plains before modern development changed the character of the open range.
