About this map

Red Rock River valley serves as the primary corridor for transportation and settlement in this portion of Beaverhead County. The small community of Dell is anchored by the historic Oregon Short Line railroad and the adjacent Dell Flight Strip, reflecting the area's role as a transit waypoint in the high mountain basins. To the west, the Tendoy Mountains rise sharply, dissected by numerous drainages including Deadwood Gulch and Garr Canyon.

The southern reaches of the map transition into the Beaverhead National Forest, where a high density of named water sources like Hansen Spring, Norris Spring, and Lone Pine Spring suggest the importance of water management for livestock and conservation. Notable geological features such as the prominent Red Butte and the deep incision of Chute Canyon define the landscape east of the river, while a network of rural routes like Sage Creek Rd and Chute Canyon Rd connect the isolated ranching and mountain terrain.
