2024 Map of Argenta

About this map

Argenta sits at the southern edge of the Pioneer Mountains, where the rugged terrain of the Beaverhead National Forest meets the open Argenta Flats. The landscape is defined by a dense network of gulches and canyons, such as Canyon Gulch and Good Friday Gulch, which drain toward Rattlesnake Creek. This area's mining and prospecting heritage is reflected in landmarks like Quartz Hill and the presence of the Argenta Cem south of the main settlement. Topographic features like Canyon Mtn and Dutchman Mtn dominate the northern half of the quadrangle, while the southeast corner transitions into the Frying Pan Basin. An intricate system of mountain roads, including Long John Rd and various Bureau of Land Management routes, provides access to these high-elevation ridges and isolated springs like Dutchman Spring.
