2017 Map of Krone Ranch

About this map

Krone Ranch and the surrounding Lewis and Clark County range define this section of the Montana landscape, where cattle ranching and water management are the primary human imprints. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal and perennial water sources, most notably the Dearborn River which cuts through the southern sections. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Gobblers Knob, while the lower ranch lands depend on the Bean Embody Ditch and the Soap Cr Reservoir for irrigation and livestock. The infrastructure is characterized by remote paths such as Black Rock Rd and Flat Creek Rd, which provide access to a series of creek drainages including Auchard Cr, Flat Cr, and Gillette Cr. These features highlight the careful utilization of natural resources in a high-plains environment where every drainage and ditch is vital to the local economy.
