About this map

Ivanhoe Mine and its accompanying Ivanhoe Mine Dam sit at the center of this Montana landscape, representing the intersection of industrial history and the high-altitude topography of Beaverhead County. The map details a rugged drainage system where Rock Creek flows through the southern half, fed by waters from Lake Agnes and Brownes Lake. These reservoirs are managed by structures such as the Agnes Lake Dam and Brownes Lake Dam, indicating a managed hydraulic landscape designed for ranching or mining needs.

Working ranch properties like Gross Ranch along Cherry Creek Rd and the Spritzer Ranch to the southeast demonstrate the late-twentieth-century land use patterns of the region. High points including Storm Peak, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Beals Mountain dominate the terrain, while local features like Louie Lowe Basin and Bear Gulch provide specific landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing land claims or family-owned ranching operations.
