Big Hole National Battlefield occupies the southeastern portion of this terrain, marking the site of the 1877 conflict along the N Fork Big Hole River. The landscape is dominated by the high elevations of the Beaverhead National Forest, where prominent peaks like Battle Mtn and Wooster Mtn overlook a complex network of alpine drainages. The map reveals a transition from the wooded slopes of the forest to the open spaces of Maybee Meadows. Transportation through this high country is primarily defined by State Hwy 43, which follows the path of Trail Cr as it winds through the valley. Local hydrology is intricate, featuring high-altitude water bodies such as Nymphaea Lake and the marshy grounds of the Beaver Pond Basin.
