2014 Map of Vendome

About this map

The Jefferson River valley serves as the central artery for this portion of Jefferson and Silver Bow counties, where the high-altitude landscape transitions from the steep walls of Perry Canyon to broader agricultural flats. A complex irrigation network, including the Jefferson Canal, Pleasant Valley Ditch, and Creeklyn Ditch, underscores the area's reliance on water management for ranching and farming. Small settlements like Vendome and Piedmont are positioned along the lower elevations, while Renova sits near the river's edge. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of early land divisions and family-named roads such as Spackman Rd and Makowski Ln. For those looking into local lineage, the Fish Creek Cem stands near the confluence of Fish Cr and the river, marking a point of long-standing local history in the valley.
