2017 Map of Beech Creek

About this map

Blacktail Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Beaverhead County region, where a complex network of high-elevation drainages shapes the terrain. Deep incisions like Ashbough Canyon, Riley Canyon, and Jake Canyon reveal a geography defined by its seasonal waterways. The map captures a largely uninhabited expanse where land management is delineated by the Public Land Survey System, including the intersection of township boundaries like t10s r8w and t11s r7w. Practical access to this high country is limited to a few established routes such as Sage Creek Rd and the curiously named 1898 Rd. Numerous small streams, including Pistol Cr, Divide Cr, and Heifer Cr, underscore the area's importance as a watershed for the larger Beech Creek system.
