About this map

Rock Creek and Robb Creek carve through this Beaverhead County landscape, where water management and small-scale mining define the human footprint. The presence of the Chinatown Hand South Mine indicates historical prospecting in the area, while infrastructure like Rock Creek Dam and Mera Dam speaks to the necessity of water control in this drainage basin.

Surface water is the primary feature of this terrain, anchored by Kelly Spring and Poison Spring. Transportation is limited to rugged corridors like Robb Creek Rd, which follows its namesake waterway. In the southeast, the terrain tightens at the distinctive feature known as The Notch, near the Notch Station site. This 2011 survey captures a quiet, high-country region where the headwaters of East Fork Blacktail Deer Creek begin their descent.
