The Branham Lakes was named after the family of Tom Branham, one of the earliest miners and prospectors in Sheridan, Montana.

TOWN OF SHERIDAN: Sheridan sits on the banks of the Ruby River, in the heart of the Ruby River Valley. Seven mountain ranges surround the Ruby River Valley: the Tobacco Root, the Highlands, the McCartney, the Pioneer, the Ruby, the Gravely, and the Snowcrest Mountains. As the heart of the Valley, Sheridan offers easy access to them all. Enjoy all of the hiking, hunting, camping, fishing, and backpacking that these majestic mountains have to offer while you stay in Sheridan.

In addition to the cornucopia of outdoor activities, Sheridan is only a few miles from the historic locations of Nevada City and Virginia City. These two semi-ghost towns, some of the first in the territory, started as gold camps along Alder Creek. Today, many of the historic buildings have been restored, making them one of the most impressive historic ghost towns in the state. No visit to Southwest Montana is complete without a tour of Virginia and Nevada Cities, and Sheridan is the perfect place to stay while visiting them.

MADISON COUNTY: Down in Southwest Montana, sharing a tiny portion of its southern border with Idaho is Madison County. This mountainous part of Montana is wedged between Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks, and its residents maintain their local traditions that are inspired by the natural landscape, like fishing, ranching, and all things outdoors. The county seat is Virginia City, an interesting place split between the historic and the contemporar. Half of the town contains a vibrant, current-day population, while the other half is an abandoned mining town, preserved as a slice of history and a window into the lives of settlers from the mid-1800s. While Virginia City is probably the countys largest touristic draw, the nearby town of Ennis is a delightful stop for passers-through, and is host to many annual events. Though it doesnt immediately border Yellowstone National Park, Madison County, and more specifically Ennis, can make a great base from which to explore the park. SOUTHWEST MONTANA ROCKHOUNDING Rockhounding is more than just a hobby; it is a lifestyle. There's a reason Montana is known as the Treasure State and that Southwest Montana where our claims are located is especially rich for gold and precious gems. Even today, you can tap into the euphoria of making a find in Montana. A century and a half ago, these hills crawled with prospectors lured by rich gold strikes. Aquamarine, sapphires, garnets, amethyst, smoky quartz, clear quartz scepters, jaspers, topaz, and even diamnonds are also to be found in this part of Montana. Because of such an availability of gems to be found, there are many Mineral and Gem Clubs throughout the state. The geology of Montana had a history of volcanic activity which is largely responsible for the wide variety of interesting rocks and minerals to be found here. MADISON COUNTY Madison County has some of the worlds best fly-fishing and endless other outdoor activities. Close enough to Yellowstone National Park to visit, but far enough to be away from the crowds, this county has something for everybody during all seasons throughout the year. Amazing mountain views, spectacular trout fishing, and Cowboy Culture are just a few reasons to visit Madison Valley. During the summer months, there are endless options for outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, biking, and kayaking. The Big Sky Ski resort is an hour and half SE with all the winter activities. Nearby Willow Creek Reservoir is a fishing access site that also has camping. Fishing and boating may be enjoyed on the lake with a boat launch provided. MADISON VALLEY The Madison Valley where our claims are located, is an area rooted in farming and ranching with blue ribbon rivers, majestic mountain ranges, abundant wildlife, and small towns with rural values. Lewis and Clark crossed this scenic valley of majestic mountain ranges and the fabled Madison River in 1805, but not until 1864, shortly after gold was first discovered in the valley, did Madison County become part of Montana Territory. Today, rural and community values keep ranching as the main way of life in the Madison Valley. Through conservation, the Madison Valley has sustained productive agricultural land, healthy grasslands, and abundant wildlife. In addition to its old west charm, the Madison Valley has arguably the most superb fly-fishing waters in all the world and the Madison River may be our most glorious. Meriwether Lewis named the river in 1805 after James Madison, who was the US Secretary of State at the time. Starting in Yellowstone National Park, the river is 183 miles of perfectly moving riffles that are teaming with trout. Ennis is the base camp of the Madison Valley, a colorful town filled with fly anglers and ranchers, Ennis sits on the banks of the Madison River and is surrounded by 3 mountain ranges.
