About this map

The Madison River carves through this southwestern Montana landscape, serving as a vital corridor for both natural resource management and outdoor access. The eastern bank is characterized by the broad Cameron Bench, where the Kremer Ditch and Olsen Ditch indicate a history of water diversion for high-altitude ranching. West of the river, the terrain rises sharply toward the Beaverhead National Forest and Ruby Mtn. This western flank is dominated by the Wall Creek State Wildlife Management Area, a significant conservation tract that includes the Wall Creek F S Station. Industrial activity is evident at the Cyprus Mine and various prospects scattered near Johnny Gulch, while the McAtee Bridge Boat Ramp highlights the river's role in local recreation during the late 1980s.
