About this map

The Jefferson River meanders across this landscape in the late 1980s, creating a complex network of sloughs and irrigation channels that support local agriculture near Waterloo. This area is defined by the sharp transition from the flat agricultural plains of The Bench to the rising elevations of the Deerlodge National Forest. Significant water management is evident through the presence of the Parrot Ditch and Parsons Ditch, which redirect flow across the valley floor. To the east, the terrain becomes increasingly steep and resource-driven. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy landholdings like the Silver Bow Ranch and White Rock Ranch, while the upland gulches reveal the region's mining heritage. Features such as the Strawn Mine and the Ohio Lode Mine located near Hellroaring Canyon point to the persistent search for minerals in the Madison County mountains.
