1997 Map of Dickie Hills

About this map

Dickie Hills and the winding Big Hole River define this high-altitude landscape within the Beaverhead National Forest during the late 1990s. The map illustrates a remote terrain where resource extraction and recreation meet, shown through the presence of a Gravel Pit, a Mine near Meadow Creek, and the Dickie Bridge Campground. Transportation is focused along the Pioneer Mountains Scenic Byway, which follows the river valley and provides access to local landholdings like the Dace Ranch and Glaus Ranch. High-country water features, including Foolhen Lake and numerous drainages like Alder Creek and Osborne Creek, underscore the area's role as a vital watershed. The map's detailed boundaries also track the junction of Beaverhead, Silver Bow, and Deer Lodge counties as they converge near the river's northern bend.
