About this map

The high-country terrain of the Beaverhead National Forest defines this part of Beaverhead County, dominated by the prominent peaks of Selway Mountain and Black Mountain. The hydrological network is led by the Big Hole River in the northwest, which is fed by numerous drainages including Englebaugh Creek and the curiously named Bloody Dick Creek.

Transport and access are primarily managed through a system of forest roads, such as Skinner Meadows Road and Saginaw Road, reflecting the area's history of ranching and land management. The presence of the Fish Ranch Airport near the Big Hole River indicates the importance of aerial access in this isolated landscape. From the open expanse of Dunkwaden Flats to the Big Hole Divide, the map provides a clear record of the watershed boundaries and traditional travel routes through the Bitterroot Range foothills.
