About this map

Blacktail Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Beaverhead County region, where high-altitude drainages carve a complex network of canyons and creeks. This 2020 survey documents the intersection of several significant watercourses, including the headwaters of Beech Cr and Crooked Cr, which define the local topography. The map illustrates a high-country environment where narrow corridors like Ashbough Canyon, Riley Canyon, and Jake Canyon provide natural passages through the terrain.

Transportation in this area is limited to a few established routes, most notably Sage Creek Rd in the south and the historically named 1898 Rd. These roads parallel creek beds such as Sage Cr, following the path of least resistance through the steep grades. The cartography provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System grid, showing the boundaries of T10S and T11S across ranges R8W and R7W, which is essential for locating specific land parcels and historical grazing allotments.
