2024 Map of Granite Mountain

About this map

The Gravelly Range dominates this corner of the Beaverhead National Forest, where the high-elevation terrain falls sharply toward the Madison River valley. This 2024 survey captures a landscape defined by significant water management and geological landmarks, including the historic Hyde Creek Ditch and the towering Granite Mountain. To the east, the Sun West Ranch indicates contemporary land use alongside traditional forest boundaries. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage systems feeding the river, from English George Creek in the north to the Secret Lakes tucked below Gazelle Butte in the south. These features reveal the complex hydrology required to support both the natural forest ecosystems and the ranching interests that have long characterized Madison County. Researchers can trace the winding paths of Wall Canyon RD and other forest routes as they navigate the deep cuts of Wall Canyon.
