About this map

The Red Rock River flows through a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes between the eastern slopes of the Tendoy Mountains and the basin of the Clark Canyon Reservoir. This high-country region in Beaverhead County shows a sparse settlement pattern centered around the namesake community of Red Rock. The topography is etched by numerous drainage systems, including Limekiln Canyon, Bell Canyon, and Clark Canyon, which feed into the valley from the surrounding heights.

Modern infrastructure, such as the Interstate corridor, follows the natural path carved by the river, paralleling historic routes like Old Armstead Rd. The map documents a network of access roads like Maurer Mtn Rd and Lake Front Rd that navigate the ridges and shoreline. The presence of Poison Gulch and Horse Creek highlights the diverse names given to the small tributaries that have historically supported ranching and transit in this part of Montana.
