2020 Map of Rancher Cemetery

About this map

Pease Bottom serves as the focal point of this rural landscape in Treasure County, where the topography transition from the flatlands of the Yellowstone River valley into a network of drainages and coulees. The namesake Rancher Cem is positioned near the junction of Myers Rd and Fort Pease Rd, providing a specific anchor for family historians and genealogists researching early settlement patterns in this part of Montana. Irrigation infrastructure is evidenced by the presence of Rancher Ditch, which supports the agricultural viability of the lowlands. Further north, the terrain becomes increasingly complex, carved by seasonal watercourses such as Muggins Cr, Alkali Cr, and N Fork Edwards Cr. A network of unpaved routes, including Sumatra Rd and Cat Coulee Ln, provides access to the higher ground of the northern townships.
