About this map

The North Fork Blackfoot River flows through this Powell County landscape, anchored by the heights of Ovando Mountain and McCabe Mountain. In the valley below, the map documents a network of hydraulic engineering essential to the region's ranching heritage, featuring the Jacobsen Ditch, Murphy Ditch, and Krutar Ditch. These waterways support established local holdings such as the Jacobsen Ranch and Murphy Ranch, centered near the settlement of Geary.

High-elevation meadows and parks, including Doney Meadows, Mollet Park, and Martin Park, are interspersed between the rugged peaks. The map also records early 21st-century infrastructure such as the Copenhaver Rest Area and water management features like the Doney Lake Number 2 Dam. For those tracing local land use, the intersection of forest service roads like (FDR) Twin Draw and natural features like Dick Creek illustrates the integration of recreation and agriculture in this Montana wilderness.
