About this map

The Greenhorn Range dominates this portion of Madison County, providing a high-elevation backdrop for a landscape defined by ranching and mountain water sources. Warm Springs Creek and the Ruby River serve as the primary drainage systems, carving through gulches like Schoolmarm Gulch and French Gulch. Historical land use is evident through scattered infrastructure such as the Fred B Utter Ranch and Hudson Ranch, alongside high-country outposts like the Warm Springs Cow Camp.

Resource extraction and water management are visible in the presence of the Plage Mine and Tate Reservoir. The geography is dotted with numerous small bodies of water and springs, including Romy Lake, Moose Lake, and Crockett Lake. These features, connected by routes like Warm Springs Rd, illustrate the intersection of mountainous terrain and the practical requirements of high-altitude ranching and mining operations.
