1978 Map of Fox Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Big Hole River winds through this Beaverhead County landscape, defining a broad valley floor characterized by extensive wetlands and ranching operations. The map documents the intricate water system of the region, where Big Swamp Creek and Little Swamp Creek feed into the main river channel amidst a network of irrigation ditches. This 1978 survey highlights the enduring presence of family-named agricultural holdings, including the 40-Bar Ranch, Hirschy Ranch, and Willow Ranch, alongside local transport markers like Nelson Lane and Jorgenson Lane. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the timbered slopes of the Beaverhead National Forest, cut by deep drainages such as Fox Gulch and Broomfield Gulch. The presence of the Popularis Cem and the Hirschy Landing Strip illustrates the localized infrastructure of this high-country ranching community during the late twentieth century.
