About this map

The Blacktail Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in Beaverhead County, Montana. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainages and canyons, including Ashbough Canyon, Riley Canyon, and Jake Canyon. A network of creeks, such as Cattle Cr, Pistol Cr, and Divide Cr, suggests a watershed critical for high-country grazing.

Sage Creek Rd provides the primary route through the southern portion of the territory, skirting the banks of Sage Cr. The map's labeling reveals a focus on livestock-related nomenclature common to this region, seen in names like Bull Cr and Heifer Cr. This 2014 survey documents the enduring character of this open range before any significant modern development, preserving the exact watercourse patterns of Beech Cr and its tributaries.
