2020 Map of Ashbough Canyon

About this map

Blacktail Mountains dominate the southwestern portion of this Beaverhead County landscape, where the terrain breaks into a series of deep drainages and named canyons. The watershed is defined by Blacktail Deer Cr and its tributaries, including Sheep Cr and Timber Cr, which carve through the high country. For family historians and researchers, the presence of the Poindexter Cem near Blacktail Rd offers a specific point of genealogical interest in an otherwise sparsely populated ranching and mountain environment. The map details numerous geographical landmarks such as Irishmans Hole and Blacktail Spring, reflecting the long-standing local nomenclature of this Montana territory. The road network, including Buster Brown Rd and Cabin Creek Rd, suggests the primary access routes through the varied elevations of Ashbough Canyon and Weston Canyon.
