2011 Map of Rein Lake

About this map

The ranching landscape of central Montana is defined here by the intricate convergence of the American Fork and Sweet Grass Creek drainages. In this 2011 survey, the American Fork Ranch and Anchor Ranch stand as primary landmarks, illustrating the enduring agricultural patterns of Wheatland County. The local water management system is clearly mapped, including the Ryan-Tronrud Dam at Rein Lake and the extensive American Fork Ranch Ditch, which redirects water across the valley. For those tracing local family history, the Hopkins Cemetery is a significant genealogical site, situated near the headwaters of O'Hearn Creek. The topography is shaped by numerous seasonal and perennial flows such as Big Elk Creek and Lebo Creek, which drain the open country between established access points like Rein Rd.
