About this map

The Blacktail Mountains dominate the northern terrain of this Montana landscape, where a dense network of high-country drainages defines the geography. Primary waterways including Long Creek and Sage Creek serve as the central arteries for the region, joined by numerous tributaries such as Cattle Creek, Pistol Creek, and the phonetically distinct Skl-ou-kin Creek.

Human presence is sparse in this portion of Beaverhead County, focused primarily along the southern edge of the sheet. The route of Sage Creek Rd provides the principal access through the valley, following the natural contours shaped by Sage Creek. This 2011 survey captures the area's enduring character as an open drainage basin, where names like Bull Creek and Beech Creek reflect the local ranching and natural history of the Montana highlands.
