2024 Map of Snowline

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest lands dominate the southwestern portion of this landscape, marking a rugged transition into high country along the Montana-Idaho border region. The area is defined by a dense network of mountain drainages, including Big Beaver Creek, Junction Creek, and Shineberger Creek, which carve through the high terrain beneath the prominent summit of Diamond Butte. The presence of the Snowline Stock Ln and its southern branch, S Snowline Stock Ln, indicates the historic and ongoing importance of livestock movement through these mountain passes. Roadways like Sawmill Creek Rd and Shineberger Rd provide access into the deeper timber and creek bottoms, tracing the routes once used for resource extraction and land management in this remote corner of Beaverhead County.
