The Big Hole River serves as the primary artery for this high-country landscape, marking the boundary between Beaverhead and Madison counties. This late-twentieth-century study of the drainage basin shows a rugged agricultural economy defined by widely spaced ranching operations such as Breeden Ranch and Mc Cullough Ranch. The presence of several family-named outfits, including the Kambich Ranch and Schuetz Ranch, suggests a long-standing settlement pattern tied to water rights and alluvial grazing land.
