2014 Map of Elk Gulch

About this map

Benson Peak stands as a prominent landmark along the boundary of Beaverhead and Madison Counties in this high-altitude landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages including Van Camp Canyon and Hoffman Gulch to the north, which give way to the broader Little Elk Gulch and Elk Gulch further south. These features reflect the complex geomorphology of southwest Montana, where water systems like Sweetwater Cr and Blacktail Deer Cr have carved distinct paths through the foothills.
