2011 Map of Twin Lakes

About this map

The Teton River flows through this Teton County landscape, where the foothills of the Rockies meet the plains in a pattern of wide-ranging cattle ranches and seasonal waterways. Several family-named properties, including Knowlton Ranch, Pollock Ranch, and Clark Brothers Ranch, are connected by a network of gravel routes such as Blackleaf Rd and Knowlton Rd. This 2011 survey captures the area's vital water management infrastructure, most notably the Twin Lakes Dam which regulates Twin Lakes. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features such as Frenchy Gulf and Chicken Coulee, illustrating the erosional character of the Montana plains. Farther south, Pebbles Rd and Bellview Teton Rd provide access to Olson Ranch and Hughes Ranch, reflecting a persistent ranching economy defined by the availability of water from sources like Blacktail Creek and Clark Fork Muddy Creek.
