2024 Map of Madison Plateau

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

The Madison Plateau dominates the central terrain of this Gallatin and Madison County borderland, where the landscape is defined by the complex water management systems of the American West. Agricultural development is evident through named irrigation features like Sloan Ditch and Hutchison Ditch, which redirect water across the northern sections of the plateau. To the south, the drainage of Elk Creek carves through the topography, followed closely by Elk Creek Rd and Norris Rd. The presence of Willow Springs and Spring Creek highlights the vital natural water sources that supported early ranching and homesteading in this high-elevation region. Local transportation routes such as Buffalo Jump Rd and Grainbelt Rd reveal the enduring ranching and farming footprint, providing a clear view of how land use and water rights have shaped this portion of Montana.
