1978 Map of Kitty Creek

About this map

Bloody Dick Creek winds through this high-altitude borderland between Montana and Idaho, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding Beaverhead National Forest. The landscape is defined by the Continental Divide, which separates the Beaverhead range from the Salmon National Forest to the southwest. Human activity is sparse and focused on seasonal forestry and ranching, evidenced by the Bloody Dick Guard Sta and Hughes Cow Camp. The presence of a remote Landing Strip and various Pack Trails and Jeep Trails underscores the difficulty of navigating this terrain in the late 1970s. Near the southern edge, Prospects along Kelly Creek suggest localized mineral exploration, while Reservoir Lake at the northern boundary provides a significant water landmark for the region.
