2020 Map of Iron Creek

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Madison County, where the upper reaches of the Ruby River and the E Fork Ruby River converge. The topography is characterized by major relief points like Strawberry Butte and the broad Maverick Basin, with a drainage network comprising Cottonwood Creek, Iron Creek, and Geyser Creek. Water sources are critical in this terrain, as evidenced by several named points including Bear Creek Spring, Elk Creek Spring, and Dog Creek Spring. Human presence is marked primarily by forest management infrastructure, including the Natl Forest Develop Road 950 Rd and primitive routes like Red 100 Rd. The map also details numerous public land blocks, such as PB 47, which intersperse the mountainous forest land.
