About this map

The Red Rock River valley serves as a primary corridor through this portion of Beaverhead County, defining the landscape between the Tendoy Mountains and the rising slopes of the Beaverhead National Forest. This 2014 survey documents the remote settlement at Kidd, situated at the intersection of local routes like Kidd Ln and the interstate highway. The map illustrates a rugged topography carved by multiple drainage systems, including McKenzie Canyon, Limekiln Canyon, and McKnight Canyon.

Surface water is represented by several distinct tributaries, such as Kelmbeck Cr and Buck Cr, which feed into the river basin. Cultural features are sparse but significant for local navigation and land management, with McKnight Canyon Rd providing access into the higher elevations of the forest. The placement of these roads and the small cluster at Kidd reflect the enduring importance of river-bottom lands for transportation in this high-altitude Montana environment.
