Jackson sits at the heart of this high-altitude basin, where the waters of the Big Hole River and its numerous tributaries are managed by an extensive system of irrigation and mining channels. This intricate network, including the Jackson Miner Ditch and the Company Ditch, reflects the dual priorities of ranching and historical resource extraction in Beaverhead County. The presence of Jackson Hot Springs and Patterson Springs suggests a geothermal landscape that has long anchored this community in the Big Hole Valley.
