2011 Map of Monument Hill

About this map

Sage Creek and its various tributaries define the drainage patterns across this Beaverhead County landscape. The terrain is marked by distinct landforms like Whiskey Draw and Buggy Gulch, which point to the hydrologic carving of the high country. Human presence in the region is anchored by established agricultural operations, specifically Wheat Ranch near the center and Tallent Ranch at the southeastern edge. Monument Hill stands as a primary landmark in a region where water routes like Divide Creek, Crooked Creek, and Whippoorwill Creek provide the most significant geographical orientation. The road network shown reflects the remote ranching infrastructure typical of southwest Montana in the early 21st century.
