About this map

Burns Mtn dominates the southwestern portion of this Beaverhead County landscape, providing a topographical anchor for a region defined by high-elevation springs and drainage gulches. The terrain transitions from the steep slopes of Timber Butte to the more level expanse of Argenta Flats in the north. This 2014 survey records a network of vital water sources including School Section Spring, Magpie Spring, and Red Spring, which are critical features in this arid Montana environment.

Infrastructure is primarily focused on the northern half of the map, where MT-278 cuts across the territory alongside several named local routes like Ten Mile Rd and Big Hole Rd. The presence of the Dillon Reservoir and the winding course of Rattlesnake Cr indicate the importance of water management for the surrounding ranching or agricultural operations. This modern survey provides an exact record of land divisions and local access roads such as Prickly Pear Ln and Stone House Rd.
