About this map

Red Canyon dominates the southern landscape of this Beaverhead County region, where the high-altitude drainage systems of the Montana backcountry converge. The map showcases a complex network of waterways that define the local geography, specifically the various branches of Blacktail Deer Cr. These include the E Fork Blacktail Deer Cr, W Fork Blacktail Deer Cr, and Middle Fork Blacktail Deer Cr, which carve through the terrain alongside Alkali Cr.

U.S. Geological Survey data reveals a remote landscape primarily accessed via rugged transport routes such as Rock Creek Rd and Blacktail Rd. The lack of established settlements suggests a territory dedicated to ranching or seasonal use, typical of the high-basin environments near the Continental Divide. Geologists and local historians can use these precise watercourse and road alignments to identify traditional land boundaries and drainage patterns that have shaped land use in this corner of the state for decades.
