About this map

The Big Hole River carves a significant path through this portion of the Beaverhead National Forest, serving as a focal point for the surrounding landscape. The river valley hosts several local landmarks, including the Davis Ranch and Glance Ranch, reflecting the enduring ranching presence in this corner of Beaverhead County. The terrain is defined by the prominent Dickie Hills and Foolhen Ridge, with high-elevation features like Foolhen Lake and Round Top Mountain rising above the timbered slopes.

Water management and recreation are evident through the presence of a Ditch near the river and the Dickie Bridge Picnic Area. The map also captures the varied drainage systems of the region, from the headwaters of Alder Creek to the winding paths of Meadow Creek and Harriet Lou Creek. The inclusion of a Gravel Pit and a Mine near the river suggests localized industrial activity amidst the vast forest lands.
