About this map

Ermont Mill serves as a focal point for this mineral-rich pocket of Beaverhead County, where a dense network of mining operations defines the landscape. The area around Argenta Mine is particularly saturated with named claims, including the Legal Tender Mine, Starlight Mine, and Madison Mine. These features, clustered near Argenta Spring, point to a history of deep-earth extraction in the hills above Clarks Canyon.

Away from the industrial sites, the map reveals the ranching and water management patterns of the region. Scattered holdings like the Carroll Ranch and Gozad Ranch sit along seasonal drainages such as Cat Creek. Infrastructure for high-altitude water storage is evident at Estler Lake Dam and the Kelly Reservoir, while local travel is facilitated by named routes like Badger Pass Rd and Kelly Reservoir Rd.
