About this map

Beaverhead River and its intricate network of irrigation works anchor the landscape east of Dillon. This 2011 survey illustrates a region defined by water management, where the East Bench Canal, Dillon Canal, and various waterworks like Owen Ditch and Tulley Ditch redistribute flows across the valley floor. The map documents the eastern edges of the town, including the Mountain View Cemetery and the Dillon Sewage Lagoon Dam, while the terrain rises toward Hoffman Gulch to the north.

Further south, the landscape opens into broader agricultural and resource lands. Evidence of local industry appears with the NW Section 24 Mine, situated near the headwaters of drainage systems like Blacktail Deer Creek. This edition captures the interface between municipal growth, such as the SkyLine RV Park, and the enduring ranching infrastructure that has supported this part of Beaverhead County for generations.
