2017 Map of Swamp Creek

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest land dominates the southeastern portion of this terrain, where the Snowcrest Range rises toward a natural pass known as The Notch. This high-country landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where waters from Swamp Creek and the E Fork Blacktail Deer Cr flow through deeply carved valleys. The boundary between Beaverhead and Madison Counties bisects the region, following a north-south line through the center of the survey. Isolated landmarks like Notch Station suggest the limited human infrastructure in this wilderness area, which is primarily accessed by unpaved routes such as Rock Creek Rd and Robb Creek Rd. Seasonal water sources including Poison Spring and Kelly Spring are critical points for local geography in the otherwise arid Dry Hollow area.
