2020 Map of Coyote Creek

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest land dominates this high-country quadrangle in the southwestern corner of Montana. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, where W Coyote Creek and Lodgepole Creek flow through timbered slopes and open basins. The presence of irrigation infrastructure like the Bloody Dick Ditch indicates the historical and ongoing importance of water management in this cattle-ranching region. Evidence of early land use and seasonal habitation is found in the naming of topographical features such as Poverty Flats and several named ravines, including Sullivan Gulch and Roberts Gulch. Remote access is maintained through a small number of forest roads, most notably Guard Station Rd, which winds through the mountain terrain to connect isolated springs like Houlihan Springs with the broader drainage of Bloody Dick Creek.
