About this map

Garfield Mountain and the high elevations of the Lima Peaks anchor this remote section of Beaverhead County, where seasonal ranching and water management define the landscape. The presence of the Deep Creek Cow Camp near Warm Springs Creek highlights the area's continued use for livestock grazing, a traditional industry supported by a network of drainage systems including Birch Creek, Alder Creek, and the winding Sawmill Creek.

Transport through this high-country terrain is limited to historical routes and modern access points like Frontage RD and the descriptive Snowline Stock Ln. Notable water sources such as Dutch Hollow Spring and Lower Deep Creek Spring serve as critical landmarks in an environment where the topography transitions from the steep slopes of Dutch Hollow to the creek beds of Crooked Run Creek. This survey provides a clear view of the mountain-and-valley hydrology that has shaped land use in this part of Montana for generations.
