About this map

The Big Hole River meanders through this high mountain valley, defining a landscape of complex riparian braids and wetland reaches. The convergence of the North Fork Big Hole River and tributaries like Steel Creek and Swamp Creek highlights the drainage patterns that have historically shaped ranching and settlement in Beaverhead County. At the southern edge of the valley, the Wisdom Cem stands as a focal point for local genealogy, situated near the transition from the valley floor to the rising terrain of the Pioneer Mountains.
