About this map

Chinatown sits as a notable focal point in this high-altitude corner of Southwest Montana, connected by the eponymous China Town Rd. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Beaverhead National Forest, where Jeff Davis Peak overlooks a complex network of drainages. These waters, including Jeff Davis Cr, Shenon Cr, and Horse Prairie Cr, carve through the terrain and converge in the valley floors.

Evidence of early territorial routes remains visible through the alignment of Maiden Creek Rd as it skirts the southern edge of the quadrangle. The intersection of topography and history is centered around French Gulch, a drainage suggesting the area's legacy of resource extraction and early settlement. This survey provides a modern accounting of the creeks and peaks that have historically supported ranching and mining interests in Beaverhead County.
