2014 Map of Earls Gulch

About this map

The Big Hole River winds through the borderlands of Beaverhead and Madison Counties in this 2014 survey. The river corridor is the primary artery for local travel, crossed by the Big Hole River Bridge and paralleled by Highway 91. To the east, the landscape rises toward the prominent McCartney Mtn, while the western terrain is dissected by numerous drainage features including Brownes Gulch, Dry Timber Gulch, and Sassman Gulch. Evidence of the region's ranching and natural resource history is found in the naming of remote tracks like Kalsta Ranch Rd and landmarks such as the Devils Dancehall. Isolated water sources like Kambich Springs and Cottonwood Spring provide critical points of interest in this high-elevation landscape of canyons and gulches.
