About this map

Beaverhead National Forest land defines this section of the Madison County high country, where the ridges of the Gravelly Range and Monument Ridge divide numerous alpine drainages. The landscape is marked by seasonal and agricultural infrastructure, such as the Rebish Sheep Headquarters in the southwest and the Black Butte Cabin near the junction of the Gravelly Range Road and Standard Road.

Resource extraction and high-altitude land use are evidenced by a Gravel Pit and scattered prospects near Cave Mountain. The drainage patterns are complex, with the Ruby River and its various tributaries like South Fork Ruby Creek and Rossiter Creek carving through the terrain. High-elevation water sources including Wall Creek Lake and Kelly Reservoir provide critical points of interest within this vast forest boundary.
