About this map

Tenmile House sits at the intersection of Ermont Rd and Big Hole Rd, marking a central junction in this ranching landscape. The terrain is defined by high points like Burns Mountain and Timber Butte, which overlook a network of water sources including Magpie Spring and School Section Spring. These springs, along with the Dillon Reservoir, represent the critical water infrastructure supporting the scattered agricultural operations in this corner of Beaverhead County.

Legacy ranching sites such as the John Shaffner Ranch, Hans Dons Ranch, and Christensen Ranch are connected by namesake tracks like Stone House Rd and Carroll Ln. The course of Rattlesnake Creek flows through the northeastern portion of the sheet, further anchoring the various family-held lands. This survey reflects a modern view of traditional Montana land use, where long-established ranch names persist alongside contemporary road systems like Pronghorn Ln and Cactus Ln.
