About this map

The Beaverhead River defines the central valley of this Beaverhead County landscape, where an intricate network of irrigation canals and natural sloughs supports the region's agricultural vitality. Evidence of the area's managed water system is found in the numerous named channels like the Staudher West Side Ditch, Smith Malley Ditch, and East Bench Canal. These human-engineered waterways run parallel to natural features such as Albers Slough and Selway Slough, illustrating a highly organized ranching or farming infrastructure. To the south, the presence of the Dillon Airport and roads like Airport Rd and Riverside Dr indicate the proximity of a growing hub. The terrain shifts at Frying Pan Gulch, providing a break from the river-fed lowlands. This survey captures a moment of modern rural development, where older family-named landmarks like Murray Gilbert Slough persist alongside newer transportation links.
