About this map

Dewey sits along the northern bank of the Big Hole River, marking a point of transition between the towering Pioneer Mountains to the south and the high ridges of the Beaverhead National Forest and Deerlodge National Forest to the north. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, rising from the river valley through Nez Perce Gulch and Limekiln Gulch to the summit of Mt Fleecer.

A network of forest roads and trails, including the Sawmill Gulch Trl and Fleecer Ridge Rd, trace the high ground of Fleecer Ridge and Hogback Ridge. For genealogists and local historians, the Dewey Cem remains a primary landmark for the settlement, while features like Mitchell Park and the South Fork Reservoir indicate how the drainage of Jerry Creek and Divide Creek has been managed and utilized within this high-elevation mountain terrain.
