2020 Map of Caboose Canyon

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest defines the high-country character of this 2020 landscape in Beaverhead County. The terrain is marked by a series of significant drainage systems and canyons, including Caboose Canyon, Patterson Canyon, and Four Eyes Canyon, which run toward the primary waterway of Big Sheep Creek. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of established mountain corridors like Medicine Lodge Rd and Big Sheep Creek Rd, routes that follow the natural contours of the land much as they have for generations. Water remains a critical resource in this arid environment, noted by numerous scattered sources such as Continental Spring, Caboose Spring, and Wood Spring. The map provides a precise look at the drainage network where Nicholia Creek and Rock Creek intersect the lower elevations, framed by the rigid administrative boundaries of the Public Land Survey System.
