2011 Map of Coyote Creek

About this map

Coyote Creek and its many tributaries, including West Coyote Creek and Lodgepole Creek, carve through this section of Beaverhead County. The landscape is defined by the resource extraction and ranching history of Southwest Montana, with mining activity concentrated near Roberts Gulch in the south. These sites, such as the Monument Mine and Sunshine Mine, represent the region's enduring mineral interest. Transportation in this high-country terrain is limited to rugged corridors like Guard Station Rd and Bloody Dick Rd, which follow the natural drainage patterns of the watershed. Notable landmarks like Stocker Ranch and the ironically named Poverty Flats indicate the sparse but persistent human presence in this area. Water management for agriculture or mining is evident in the Lower Bloody Dick Ditch, while the namesake Bloody Dick Creek flows across the southern portion of the quadrangle.
