About this map

Jackson serves as the focal point of this high-elevation Montana landscape, situated near the confluence of Warm Springs Creek and the upper reaches of the Big Hole River. The map highlights the community's local infrastructure, including the Jackson Post Office and the Jackson Hot Springs Lodge, marking it as a long-standing destination in the Big Hole Valley. To the west, the settlement of Johnson and roads like Miner Lake Rd suggest the early ranching and mining routes that historically crisscrossed this basin.

Water management is evident through various structures such as the Humperdinck Number 1 Dam and Blanchard Pond Dam, which regulate the diverse stream system including Englejard Creek and Hamby Creek. The terrain rises toward the east at Laphan Mountain and features local recreation at Ski Hill, illustrating how the geography supports both seasonal recreation and the agricultural needs of the valley floor.
