About this map

The Beaverhead River flows through this corner of Beaverhead County, creating a corridor for transportation and settlement in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The small settlements of Dalys, Grayling, and Clark Canyon are positioned along this river valley, which is flanked by the distinctive geologic profile of Pipe Organ Rock. The landscape is defined by its drainages, including Grasshopper Creek and Gallagher Cr, which cut through the surrounding uplands like Henneberry Ridge and Mooney Mtn.

Infrastructure in this area is concentrated along the riverbanks, where Henneberry Bridge and several frontage roads provide access to the various gulches. The terrain is marked by traditional land survey boundaries, such as t8s r10w and t9s r10w, illustrating the section-line organization of the Montana landscape. This map captures the intersection of high-elevation topography and the vital water routes that have long dictated human activity in the region.
