About this map

Big Hole National Battlefield occupies the southeastern corner of this map, preserving a significant landscape within the Beaverhead National Forest. This protected area sits at the base of Battle Mountain, where the N Fork Big Hole River meets the drainages of Trail Creek and Ruby Creek. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of the Anaconda Range in the north, featuring Wooster Mountain, down to the water-rich flats of Maybee Meadows and Beaver Pond Basin.

Regional transportation is defined by a network of timber and access routes such as Bender Trail and Foothills Road, alongside numerous named streams like Johnson Creek and Addition Creek. These waterways and meadows emphasize the historical importance of the valley for movement and seasonal grazing. The map also identifies remote water sources like 02S12W16ACAB01 Spring, illustrating the detailed hydrographic surveying required for this high-altitude Montana landscape.
