About this map

Christensen Ranch sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Beaverhead and Madison Counties. The terrain is defined by a network of drainages including Sweetwater Cr, Hoffman Cr, and Stone Cr, which carve through the rising elevation of the surrounding hills. Water sources are critical markers in this arid environment, with Aldrich Spring, Eagle Spring, and Hanson Spring providing reliable points of reference for local ranching and land management.

Evidence of resource extraction is found at The Iron Mine, located on a ridge overlooking the headwaters of Carter Cr. The map details the remote road network essential for mountain transit, specifically Sweetwater Rd and Stone Creek Rd, which provide access to deep features like Bacheler Canyon and Axes Canyon. The drainage patterns of Winnipeg Cr and Crittenden Cr in the northeast further illustrate the complex topography of this southwestern Montana range.
