About this map

High ranching country in Gallatin County defines this area of the Big Belt Mountains foothills. The landscape is organized around family-named agricultural holdings, including the Campbell Ranch, Sunnyside Ranch, and McMurdo Ranch. These operations are supported by vital water management features such as the Doig Brothers Dam and Golden Meadow Dam. The drainage network is particularly detailed, showing the seasonal and perennial paths of Meadow Creek and the Middle Fork Sixteenmile Creek as they cut through the terrain. To the south, Elk Ridge provides a significant vertical landmark overlooking the convergence of local creek systems. Two primary thoroughfares, Maudlow Rd and 16 Mile Rd, provide the only major access through this sparsely settled territory, illustrating the isolated nature of Montana's rural interior during the early 21st century.
