About this map

Beaverhead Rock stands as the primary landmark in this river valley landscape where the Beaverhead River and Big Hole River converge. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of water management features, including the California Slough, Baker Slough, and Schoolhouse Slough, alongside numerous man-made channels like Mule Shoe Ditch and Island Ditch. This system of ditches and sloughs reflects a long-standing agricultural dependence on the river basin’s flow.

Local history is anchored by the settlement at Point of Rocks and the nearby Point of Rocks Cem, providing specific points of interest for genealogists. The map also highlights infrastructure such as the Pennington Bridge and a series of rural roads, including Burma Rd and Biltmore Rd, which trace the valley floor and connect the scattered ranching homesteads typical of the Madison and Beaverhead County border.
