About this map

Big Hole River and its intricate network of side channels define the southwestern corner of this Madison County landscape. The river is flanked by Third Slough, Owsley Slough, and the aptly named Schoolhouse Slough, illustrating the dynamic floodplain that has shaped local agriculture and ranching for generations. The terrain rises from these bottomlands into the foothills, where numerous drainages such as Rochester Cr, Nez Perce Cr, and Cottonwood Cr carve through the high country.

Regional transportation is anchored by the Melrose-Twin Bridges Co Rd, which cuts across the central part of the township. Local development is visible through named roads like Walking Horse, Garnet, and Sundust, while family or property-named routes like Utley Ln, Paige Ln, and Fournier Ln provide valuable leads for genealogists tracing modern land use and historical family holdings in the region.
