About this map

Briggs Ranch anchors the western edge of this Beaverhead County landscape, where the Red Rock River cuts through the southwestern corner. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainage systems, most notably the wide expanse of Ashbough Canyon and its smaller counterpart, Little Ashbough Canyon. These natural features, along with The Basin and several gulches like Little Spring Gulch, dictate the movement of water and travel through the region.

Remote trails and backcountry routes such as Ashbough Trl and Wolf Ln provide access to the high ground between Sage Cr and Buck Cr. Scattered water sources, including Ashbough Spring and Knox Spring, are critical landmarks in this arid environment. The map details a complex network of Bureau of Land Management routes, reflecting the modern management of this large-scale ranching and grazing territory.
