2011 Map of Soap Creek

About this map

Rockport Colony and several family-held agricultural outposts anchor this portion of Teton County, where the plains are deeply etched by seasonal drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the wandering courses of the South Fork Dry Fork Marias River and Blackleaf Creek, which cut through the terrain alongside numerous coulees such as Jensen Coulee and Farmers Coulee. This 2011 survey reveals a rural network of gravel routes like N Gypsy Basin Rd and W Pendroy Rd connecting remote homesteads including the Sullivan Ranch and Spring Hill Ranch. The map captures a moment of modern ranching life where water management is critical, evidenced by the named creeks and the high concentration of ranches situated near reliable drainages like Soap Creek and Jones Creek.
