About this map

The Big Hole River meanders through this portion of Beaverhead County, defining a wide valley floor marked by intricate drainage systems and swampy lowlands. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the timbered slopes of the Beaverhead National Forest, where named drainages like Cow Cabin Cr and Stanley Cr cut through the high country. The map captures a landscape of distinct transitions, from the open river bottom to the high-elevation gulches along the forest boundary.

Water management and natural hydrology are central to this area, evidenced by the presence of the Ice Pond and the convergence of numerous seasonal and perennial flows such as Miner Creek and Warm Springs Creek. The high-relief topography of Fox Gulch and Broomfield Gulch provides a contrast to the flatter sections near Big Swamp Cr, illustrating the geographic diversity of this Montana wilderness corridor during the early 21st century.
