2020 Map of Mackay Ranch

About this map

The East Rosebud Creek Wild and Scenic River and its surrounding watershed define this high-country landscape along the border of Stillwater and Carbon Counties. At the northern edge of the Custer National Forest, the terrain transitions from the heights of Black Butte down toward the irrigation networks of the foothills. This 2020 survey documents a complex system of historical water rights, featuring long-established channels like the Oakley-Parker Ditch, Miller Ditch, and Peabody Ditch which support local ranching. The presence of Mackay Ranch and the Roscoe Cem near the eastern boundary reflects the area's long-standing agricultural and community identity. Significant topographic features like Antelope Basin and Coleman Bench provide context for the local road network, including W Rosebud Rd and the Getaway Trl, which navigate the steep drainage systems of West Rosebud Creek and Morris Cr.
