1988 Map of Tash Peak

About this map

Tash Peak stands as a prominent landmark within the Beaverhead National Forest in this southwestern Montana landscape. The geography is defined by the high-elevation Big Hole Divide, which separates the drainages of the Grasshopper Valley to the east from the headwaters of the Big Hole region to the west. This area serves as a significant hydraulic junction, where numerous seasonal and perennial streams like Harrison Creek and Canyon Creek descend from the ridges toward the valley floor. The presence of the Circle-S Ranch and the established route through Big Hole Pass indicates the historical importance of this terrain for both livestock grazing and trans-mountain travel. Genealogists and local historians can trace the intricate network of water rights and family-named landmarks, such as Harrison Lake and Ames Abrams Creek, that shaped the early development of this portion of Beaverhead County.
