About this map

The Big Hole River winds through the eastern portion of this landscape, a vital watercourse marking the border between Silver Bow and Beaverhead counties. This montane region is largely defined by the Beaverhead National Forest, where the topography rises sharply toward Dickie Hills and Round Top Mtn. The map reveals a network of forest access routes like Bryant Creek Rd and Tie Creek Rd that navigate the drainages of Bear Cr and Johnson Gulch.

Evidence of local geography and recreation is found at Heart Park and the high-elevation Foolhen Lake, situated below Foolhen Ridge. A notable crossing point at Dickie Bridge serves as a key landmark for navigating the river valley. The map provides a precise view of the complex hydrology in the southern reaches, including Harriet Lou Cr and Deno Cr, which drain the timbered slopes of the Continental Divide transition.
