About this map

Beaverhead National Forest occupies the southeastern corner of this high-elevation landscape, where the Snowcrest Range rises above the surrounding valleys. The terrain is defined by a network of drainages and seasonal water sources, including the headwaters of Swamp Cr and the westward-flowing E Fork Blacktail Deer Cr. This 2020 topographic record shows a remote portion of Beaverhead County where access is dictated by a few primitive routes such as Robb Creek Rd and Rock Creek Rd.

Key landmarks for navigation in this backcountry include The Notch and several localized water points like Poison Spring and Kelly Spring. The map documents the boundary line between Beaverhead and Madison counties as it passes through Dry Hollow, illustrating the complex topography that separates these two southwestern Montana jurisdictions. This sheet is primarily a study of natural landforms and hydrology, with little to no permanent settlement shown.
