About this map

The Tobacco Root Mountains dominate this high-elevation region of Madison County, where steep drainages and mining history define the landscape. Near the settlement of Brandon, the terrain drops toward Mill Creek, while the eastern portion of the sheet is largely contained within the Beaverhead National Forest. This area is marked by a legacy of prospecting and land claims, evidenced by named sites such as the Smith Property and Earl Everett.

Water flows through a network of canyons and gulches, including Bivens Gulch and Ramshorn Creek, which are traced by primitive roads like the Bivens Creek Ridge Rd. To the south, Australia Gulch and the Larkspur and Geranium locations point to the enduring interest in the mineral potential of these slopes. The map provides a clear view of the complex topography between Copper Mtn and the numerous creeks that drain the western face of the range.
