1997 Map of Dixon Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The Tendoy Mountains dominate this landscape within the Beaverhead National Forest, defined by a series of high-elevation ridges and drainages. Dixon Mountain and Timber Butte serve as primary anchors for the topography, while water sources like Big Sheep Creek and Muddy Creek carve through the deep canyons. This 1997 revision of a 1965 survey highlights the primitive transportation network of the Dillon Ranger District, where the Prospect Trail and Hidden Pasture Trail provide access to the high country. Small-scale mining activity is indicated by several Prospect labels throughout the terrain, suggesting early 20th-century exploration for mineral deposits. To the southeast, White Pine Ridge and Deadwood Gulch emphasize the remote character of this mountain range on the edge of the Continental Divide.
