1996 Map of Mackay Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

High-altitude ranching and complex irrigation networks define this section of the Beartooth foothills during the late 1990s. The landscape is characterized by the descent of West Rosebud Creek and East Rosebud Creek from the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness and Custer National Forest into the lower valleys. This transition from wilderness to agriculture is marked by an extensive system of water rights, evidenced by the Espeland Ostrum Ditch, John George Ditch, and Peabody Ditch which lace across the Coleman Bench. The presence of established operations like the Mackay Ranch (Lazy E K) and T O Bar Ranch, alongside the Roscoe Cem, provides a detailed look at the social and economic fabric of this mountain-front community. Notable landmarks such as Black Butte and the Antelope Basin serve as essential orientation points for the surrounding terrain.
