About this map

Burns Mtn anchors the high ground of this Beaverhead County landscape, where the topography transitions from the high peaks of the south into the broad reach of Argenta Flats to the north. The area is defined by its water resources, with numerous named points such as Albers Springs, Red Spring, and the curiously named The Puddles scattered across the drainage basins.

Infrastructure in this part of Montana reflects a ranching and rural character, marked by a network of specialized roads like Ten Mile Rd and Big Hole Rd. The presence of School Section Spring suggests historical land use patterns tied to state-managed sections, while the northeast corner of the sheet is influenced by the proximity of Dillon Reservoir and the drainage of Rattlesnake Cr. Landforms like Timber Butte and Ermont Gulch provide significant landmarks for those navigating this expansive terrain.
