About this map

Big Hole River winds through the heart of this Beaverhead County landscape, defining the character of the valley floor alongside Stevens Slough and Black Slough. The settlement pattern is characterized by scattered ranching operations and small communities like Glen, Navy, and Apex. Family-named landmarks such as Mantle Ranch, Haining Ranch, and Selvo Ranch reflect the local agricultural heritage, while the Glen Mine in the northeast suggests the area's mineral interests.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific burial sites at Reichle Cemetery and Haining Cemetery, providing concrete links to the families who settled this high-country terrain. The drainage network, including Birch Creek and Willow Creek, originates from features like Timber Canyon and Greenstone Gulch, feeding into the main river system crossed by the Big Hole River Bridge. Transportation is facilitated by local routes such as School House Rd and Apex East Rd, which connect these remote outposts.
