About this map

Bloody Dick Creek and its many tributaries, including Hoops Creek and Kitty Creek, dominate this high-elevation landscape within Beaverhead County near the Idaho-Montana border. The area is defined by its industrial and recreational uses, as seen by the Kelly Creek Mine located south of Pyramid Hill. Longstanding cattle-ranching traditions are evidenced by the Hughes Cow Camp situated near Hughes Gulch.

Remote Forest Service infrastructure provides the primary access to the region, with Bloody Dick Rd and Warm Springs Rd winding through the drainage basins. Outdoor recreation centers around Reservoir Lake and the Reservoir Lake Campground in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a high-country environment where narrow creek bottoms like East Terrell Creek and West Peterson Creek serve as the primary corridors for navigation through the mountainous terrain.
