2014 Map of Mill Point

About this map

Grasshopper Valley serves as the focal point of this Beaverhead County landscape, where the confluence of numerous drainages reflects a classic Montana high-country water system. The topographic prominence of Mill Point overlooks a network of historical transit routes, including Bannack Rd and Horse Prairie-Bannack Rd, which connect this area to the broader territorial history of the region. The map provides specific locational data for researchers interested in the legacy of early settlements, most notably marking the Bannack Cem on the eastern edge of the valley. Riparian corridors like Grasshopper Cr, Reservoir Cr, and Sagebrush Cr crisscross the terrain, illustrating the critical role of water management and natural forage in this part of the state. The layout of section lines and township boundaries such as t7s r12w and t8s r12w further documents the structured land division that has governed this ranching and mining country for generations.
