The confluence of high-desert water management and historic topography is evident near the Beaverhead River and Big Hole River. This landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation channels, including the remarkably named Balkovetz Giem Standvich Whiting Ditch, Cocanougher Ditch, and Warm Springs Ditch, illustrating decades of water-rights history in this corner of Montana. The boundary between Madison and Beaverhead counties cuts through the terrain near the prominent landmark of Beaverhead Rock. Local history and genealogy researchers will find the Point of Rocks Cem near the settlement of Point of Rocks, while more modern infrastructure is noted by the presence of the Vbob Airport and several springs like 04S07W28BDAD01 Spring.
