1961 Map of Dewey

About this map

The Big Hole River carves through this mountain landscape at the boundary of Silver Bow and Beaverhead counties. The settlement pattern is defined by early transportation and water management, evidenced by the Old Railroad Grade following the river's bend and a series of aqueducts tracing the lower slopes of Fleecer Ridge. Infrastructure for the region's utility needs is visible at the Big Hole Pumping Sta, while local community life is anchored at the Dewey Cem and the Divide Sch further north.
