About this map

Beaverhead National Forest land dominates this high-elevation terrain, where the crest of Broomtail Ridge divides a landscape of deep gulches and seasonal drainages. The Gravelly Range forms a significant topographic backbone in the western portion of the map, providing a high-country corridor accessed via the Gravelly Range Rd. Sparse human infrastructure is confined to remote forest development routes and the isolated outpost of Clover Meadows.

The complex hydrology of the area is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks, including the Middle Fork Warm Springs Creek and the southern flow of Ruby Creek. To the east, the dramatic descent into Beartrap Canyon contrasts with the relatively open spaces of Ruby Parks. This map preserves the contemporary alignment of the Natl Forest Develop Road 324 Rd, tracing the vital access routes used by ranchers and outdoorsmen in the Madison County backcountry.
