About this map

Monument Hill serves as the namesake high point in this corner of Beaverhead County, defining a landscape of high-elevation drainages and seasonal watercourses. The territory is marked by a complex system of named ravines, including Whiskey Draw and Clark Canyon in the north, transitioning to Poison Gulch and Buggy Gulch as one moves south.

Infrastructure is sparse across this terrain, with Sage Creek Rd providing the primary corridor through the southern reaches. The map details the hydrology of the headwaters where Divide Cr, Maurer Cr, and Sage Cr carve through the foothills. This 2020 survey documents the modern land divisions and topographical character of the Montana backcountry, highlighting the intersection of historical cattle country and high-plains geography.
