2014 Map of Eli Spring

About this map

Hans Peterson Flats and the high terrain of Henneberry Ridge define this corner of Beaverhead County, where modern topographic data details a landscape shaped by seasonal water and historical ranching. In the north, the small settlement of Frenchie Place sits near the headwaters of Grasshopper Cr, while the namesake Eli Spring provides a vital water source in an otherwise arid drainage system. The map documents the complex network of draws and ridges, including Madigan Gulch and Juniper Spring Gulch, that feed into larger arteries like Cedar Cr. This high-country geography is tied together by the winding path of Henneberry Ridge Rd, illustrating how the ranching and livestock history of the region is etched into the very nomenclature of the land through family-named landmarks like the Rocky Hills and the flats below.
