Beaverhead Rock dominates the landscape along the corridor where the Big Hole River and Beaverhead River converge near the Madison Co and Beaverhead Co line. This region is defined by a complex irrigation network, including the Paigesville Canal and numerous family-named channels like the Bokum Lawyer Ditch and the Balkovetz Giem Standvich Whiting Ditch. The presence of Point of Rocks and the Point of Rocks Cem signifies a historical focal point for early travelers and settlers in this part of Montana. The map illustrates how human engineering has worked to divert water through the valley, evidenced by the Mule Shoe Ditch and Fr Co-op Ditch, which crisscross the natural drainages of California Slough and McHessor Cr.
