2014 Map of Parker

About this map

Radersburg and the small settlement of Parker anchor this Western Montana landscape, situated at the base of the Limestone Hills. The area's agricultural history is written across the terrain in an intricate network of irrigation projects, including the Broadwater - Missouri W Side Canal and the Willow Swamp Canal. These systems, along with many family-named waterways like Tom Williams Ditch, Mullins Ditch, and Miller Ditch, illustrate the intensive water management required to sustain ranching and farming in this arid environment. Near the Charity Gulch drainage, the Radersburg Cem remains a significant touchstone for genealogists. The map also records the transit of the landscape through local roads such as Toma Rd and Keating Gulch Rd, connecting the scattered homesteads and pastures that define this portion of Broadwater County.
