2011 Map of Nixon Gulch

About this map

Nixon Gulch carves a path through this part of Gallatin County, serving as a primary geographic corridor north of the confluence of the Gallatin River and East Gallatin River. This map shows a landscape defined by ranching and rural development, notably the Lockhart Ranch and the service area for the Gallatin River Ranch Rural Fire Dept. A network of rural roads such as Reservoir Cutoff Rd and Horseshoe Cottonwood Rd connects scattered homesteads and points of interest like the Horseshoe/Nixon Glch Mine. The presence of the Nixon Gulch Bridge and various drainage features like Bullrun Creek highlight the importance of water management and river access in this high-plains environment during the early 21st century.
