About this map

Willow Creek Dam controls the landscape of this Big Horn County region, anchoring the Lodge Grass Storage Reservoir which dominates the southwestern corner. This area of Montana is defined by a complex network of managed waterways, including the Lodge Grass Feeder Canal and Lodge Grass Canal Number Two, reflecting the critical importance of water rights and irrigation in the local ranching and agricultural economy.

Several landmarks carry specific family names, such as the Robert-Miller Ditch, William Miller Ditch, and Jess Coulee, providing essential clues for genealogists and local historians tracking land use and family holdings. The terrain is further etched by numerous named drainages like Rotten Grass Cr, Johnny Cr, and Crazy Cr. Remote access is indicated by secondary routes like Co RD 463 and S LG CRK RD, which navigate the folds between these creek beds and irrigation systems.
