2020 Map of Kidd

About this map

The Tendoy Mountains dominate the western horizon of this Beaverhead County landscape, where the high-altitude terrain transitions into the valley of the Red Rock River. This area is characterized by the stark contrast between the protected timberlands of the Beaverhead National Forest and the corridor of transport and settlement along the river. The small community of Kidd serves as a focal point near the mouth of McKnight Canyon, positioned where the valley floor meets the rising slopes of the range. Numerous drainage systems, including Bell Canyon, McKenzie Canyon, and Limekiln Canyon, cut through the eastern faces of the mountains, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that feed into the larger river basin. The road network, including Red Rock Rd and Kidd Ln, follows the natural contours of the valley, tracing a path that has historically connected these isolated ranching and mountain reaches.
