2024 Map of Dixon Mountain

About this map

Dixon Mtn and Timber Butte dominate this section of the Tendoy Mountains, where the high-altitude landscape of Beaverhead County is shaped by a network of drainage canyons and natural springs. Part of the Beaverhead National Forest, the terrain is defined by deep cuts like Rock Canyon and Williamson Wood Canyon that feed into the valley systems below. Early access and movement through this backcountry are marked by primitive routes such as Muddy Creek Rd and Big Sheep Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the waterways. Named water sources like Harkness Spring and Rock Spring provide critical points of interest in a region primarily used for timber management and grazing. The complex drainage patterns of Big Sheep Creek and its tributaries, including Hidden Pasture Creek, reflect the hydrologic importance of this montane environment.
