2024 Map of Big Hole Battlefield
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Big Hole National Battlefield anchors the southeastern corner of this modern topographic study, preserving the site of the 1877 conflict between the U.S. Army and the Nez Perce. The landscape is defined by the North Fork Big Hole River and its numerous tributaries, including Trail Creek and Salix Creek, which wind through the drainage basins of the Beaverhead National Forest. High points such as Battle Mtn and Wooster Mtn overlook a series of high-altitude clearings like Maybee Meadows and Beaver Pond Basin. The map also identifies historical markers and access points including the Battlefield Cem and the Nez Perce Camp Trl, which provide essential context for researchers tracing the geography of the Nez Perce War within the larger Anaconda Range landscape.
