2011 Map of Beehive

About this map

Beehive and Dean anchor this Stillwater County landscape where the river valley meets the northern foothills of the Beartooth Range. The map details a complex network of canyons and creeks, including Midnight Canyon and the winding Stillwater River, which is flanked by the distinctive Beehive Rock. Settlement patterns here follow the water, with ranches and dwellings clustered along Stillwater River RD and Nye RD. Human modification of the terrain for agriculture is evidenced by the Lewis-Hudson-Fowler Ditch cutting across the southern plains near Fishtail Butte. The northern portion of the quadrangle is largely defined by vertical relief, from Dark Canyon to the southern high points of Nellies Twin Buttes, while recreation is marked by the Castle Rock Campground and the Dale Creek Bridge crossing.
