About this map

Twin Bridges serves as the focal point of this hydrologic crossroads where the Beaverhead River, Big Hole River, and Ruby River converge to form the Jefferson River. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, including the Seyler-Tash Ditch, Thompson Ditch, and Lewis-Jenkins Ditch, which support the agricultural valley. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Masonic Cem and Twin Bridges Cem, situated just east and south of the town center near the Twin Bridges Airport.

The map reveals a transition from the riparian lowlands of Jacobs Slough and Owsley Slough to the higher elevations of Goodrich Gulch and Dry Georgia Gulch in the east. Numerous family-named roads like Seidensticker Ln, Bayers Ln, and Seyler Ln trace the paths of early settlers through the Madison County countryside. In the north, Hells Canyon provides a rugged break in the terrain near Bain Springs, while the Jefferson River begins its northward course toward the Missouri.
