About this map

The Red Rock River meanders through the broad Centennial Valley in this southwestern Montana landscape, captured just as the 1960s came to a close. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into the Beaverhead National Forest, where the high peaks of the Snowcrest range and landmarks like Antelope Peak dominate the skyline. The map reveals the intricate drainage system of the region, with numerous mountain streams such as West Middle Creek and Crow Creek flowing toward the valley floor.

Water management and ranching infrastructure are evident throughout the quadrangle, notably at the Lima Reservoir Spillway 6577 and the Gaging Sta along the river. The presence of the Centennial Divide and the remote Mohieu area illustrates the topographic complexity of this high-altitude cattle country. This survey provides a precise look at the land before modern developments, showing the network of primitive roads and fence lines that defined these large-scale mountain holdings.
