Hormay left a living legacy of his work in the Matador National Demonstration Area on Matador's Sage Creek Allotment south of Dillon, Montana.
The Nature Conservancy's Matador Ranch's national rest-rotation experimental demonstration area has been under rest-rotation range management system since 1974 when Hormay first installed the system while working for the Bureau of Land Management.
It is a long-term concrete example of rest-rotation multiple-use land management.
In 1992, Hormay and the Matador's Sage Creek Allotment received the Partners in Public Spirit Award, and in 1999, at the age of 92, Gus Hormay was still visiting the rest-rotation test plots on the Matador's Sage Creek Allotment and documenting the success of his initial experiment he had started twenty-five years earlier.
