1997 Map of Ajax Ranch

About this map

Ajax Ranch stands at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the Beaverhead National Forest occupies the southwestern portion of the map. This area is defined by a dense network of high-country drainage, primarily focused on the Big Lake Creek and the intricate forks of Big Swamp Creek. To the south, the Twin Lakes Cow Camp indicates the historical grazing activity typical of this part of Beaverhead County. The hydrologic patterns are remarkably complex, featuring uniquely named tributaries such as Slag-a-melt Creek and Sawmill Creek, while the presence of North Branch Big Swamp Creek and South Branch Big Swamp Creek suggests a large wetland basin at these upper elevations. This 1990s revision provides a detailed view of the forest boundary and the sparse, functional settlements required for ranching and forest management.
