About this map

Negro Hollow and the surrounding high country of Jefferson County define this landscape, where the local economy is etched into the terrain through a network of established homesteads and drainage systems. The map detail highlights a series of family-named properties such as Watson Ranch, Tribble Ranch, and the A Shanholtzer and O Shanholtzer ranches, reflecting the enduring ranching heritage of this Montana region.

Transport through the area is centered on Cottonwood Rd and Boulder Cutoff Rd, which provide vital links between the drainages of Milligan Creek and the sheltered depths of Timber Canyon. From the Rock Spring in the north to the Brenner Ranch in the south, the survey captures a rural Montana landscape where water sources and topographic shelter dictate the placement of ranching operations and roads.
