2014 Map of Cattle Gulch

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest land dominates this high-country landscape along the border of Beaverhead and Silver Bow counties. The settlement of Glendale sits at the southern edge of the map, situated near the junction of Trapper Cr and Sucker Cr. This area is defined by a dense network of gulches and ridges that speak to early resource extraction and timber work, evidenced by names like Sawmill Gulch, Limekiln Gulch, and Quartz Hill Gulch. Water resources are central to the terrain, from the Big Hole River in the northeast corner to alpine features such as Cattle Gulch Lake and Trusty Lake. Significant topographical landmarks including Nez Perce Ridge and Ore Camp Hill provide a clear view of the mountain geography before the forest descends toward Sage Flat and Picketts Pasture.
