About this map

The Beaverhead River valley and the high slopes of the Ruby Range meet in this Beaverhead County survey. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the local agricultural economy, including the Dillon Canal, East Bench Canal, and the Stodden Ditch. These waterways parallel the river and its associated wetlands like Stodden Slough, illustrating the sophisticated water management required to sustain this portion of Montana.

Local landmarks such as the Dillon Airport and Mountain View Cem sit at the transition between the valley floor and the rising foothills. To the south, Blacktail Deer Creek winds through the terrain, while the eastern section is marked by the drainages of Benson Creek and Carter Creek. Numerous named roads like Sweetwater Rd and Blacktail Rd provide a detailed view of the modern rural settlement pattern and access to the higher elevations of Hoffman Gulch.
