About this map

Headwaters State Park sits at the significant confluence where the Missouri River begins its course, marking a geography of immense importance to the development of the American West. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Gallatin River, including the distinct Gallatin River (Old Channel), and the engineered water management of the Warm Springs Canal. This 1980s era survey captures the junction of traditional ranching and industrial utility, with a Corral and Storage Bins near Eustis contrasted against modern infrastructure like the Burlington Northern railroad and extensive Trans Lines.

The settlement of Logan serves as a local hub near the southern riverbend, where a Gaging Station monitors the vital waterways. Industrial footprints are visible through several Open Pit Mines and a Gravel Pit along the riverbanks. The rugged terrain to the north and east is carved by Cottonwood Gulch and Big Davis Gulch, while an Old RR Grade hints at earlier transportation routes that once traversed this river-carved corridor.
