1997 Map of Mud Creek

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The Big Hole River and its complex network of tributaries, including the North Fork Big Hole River and Plimpton Creek, dominate this high-altitude landscape. The terrain shows a distinct pattern of valley floor ranching and upland conservation within the Beaverhead National Forest. This era of the late 1990s is marked by deep-rooted family land holdings, notably the Mussigbrod Homestead, Mc Vey Homestead, and Rutledge Ranch, illustrating the persistent agricultural heritage of the region. Near the center of the valley sits the Wisdom Cem, a critical site for local genealogical research. Historically, the land is traversed by the Lewis and Clark Natl Historic Trail, which follows the southern reaches of Swamp Creek, connecting the modern landscape to its 19th-century exploration roots.
