2014 Map of Caboose Canyon

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Beaverhead County, Montana, where the terrain is deeply carved by numerous canyons and seasonal drainages. The map reveals a complex network of water sources essential for this environment, ranging from Wood Spring in the northwest to the Continental Spring in the southeast. Named features like Caboose Canyon and Shearing Pen Gulch suggest a history of localized naming by early surveyors or ranching interests. Transportation is limited to a few established routes such as the Big Sheep Creek Back Country Bywy, which follows the course of Big Sheep Cr through the heart of the territory. This map records the drainage patterns and topographical landmarks of a region defined by its isolation and its role as a watershed for the Nicholia Cr and Rock Cr valleys.
