About this map

Whitehall anchors the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the valley floor meets the rising slopes of the Deerlodge National Forest. This modern survey tracks the intricate water management of the region, detailing the Pipestone Ditch and Whitetail Ditch as they draw from Whitetail Deer Creek and Little Whitetail Creek. These irrigation systems define the Whitehall Valley, supporting the agricultural character of the land beneath the prominent summit of Black Butte.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Old Whitehall Cem north of the main settlement, situated along Whitetail Rd. Further east, the terrain shifts into more specialized features like the Jefco Skypark and the remote high-altitude clearing of Houghton Park. The map also documents the sparse settlement patterns near Sunlight, providing a clear view of the rural road network including Paul Gulch Rd and Sowden Ln.
