About this map

Beaverhead National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of this southwestern Montana landscape, defined by the continental divide. The geography is anchored by prominent summits such as Tash Peak and Harrison Peak, with drainage systems flowing through Harrison Canyon toward Harrison Lake. The transition from the steep, timbered slopes of the national forest into the open expanses of Grasshopper Valley illustrates the region's traditional reliance on ranching and seasonal grazing.

Transportation corridors like Wakefield Canyon Rd and Tash Livestock Ln navigate the gaps between ridges, including Big Hole Pass and Carroll Hill. These routes follow the natural topography established by numerous waterways, such as Ames Cr, Abram Cr, and Grasshopper Creek. The presence of the 06S13W15CCCD01 Spring and various creek forks indicates the critical role of water management in this high-country environment, where the Big Hole Divide separates distinct drainage basins.
