About this map

The Highland Mountains dominate this 1989 survey, marked by high peaks such as Table Mountain and East Peak. The area is characterized by a landscape of steep gulches and canyons, where the Beaverhead National Forest boundary meets the county line between Silver Bow and Madison counties. Remote outposts like the Hells Canyon FS Station indicate the administrative presence in these high woods during the late 20th century.

Evidence of mineral exploration is scattered across the southern slopes, most notably at the Big Bonanza Mine, accompanied by several other mine shafts and prospects throughout the drainage basins. Water sources such as Seidensticker No 2 Spring and Bull Pen Spring provided critical resources for ranching and mining operations in this complex terrain. Notable physical landmarks include Big Mountain, Dougherty Butte, and the prominent Big Ridge, all of which define the hydrological divide for Hells Canyon Creek and its tributaries.
