About this map

The Blacktail Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this Beaverhead County region, where the terrain is carved by a complex network of drainages including Ashbough Canyon, Coyote Canyon, and Riley Canyon. Water is a central element of this high-country geography, defined by the winding course of Blacktail Deer Cr and its tributaries like Timber Cr and Cabin Cr.

Evidence of early ranching and settlement history is anchored by the Poindexter Cem near the intersection of Blacktail Rd and Buster Brown Rd. This modern survey reveals how historic land use persists through named features like Irishmans Hole and the vital Blacktail Spring, while local routes such as Smith Rd and Flynn Ln provide access to the vast canyons that cut through the northwestern reaches of the quadrangle.
