2020 Map of Twin Bridges

About this map

Twin Bridges serves as the focal point of this Madison County landscape, situated at the significant confluence where the Big Hole River, Beaverhead River, and Ruby River unite to form the Jefferson River. The topography is defined by this intricate hydrography, featuring numerous irrigation and drainage channels such as Cornforth Ditch, Seyler-Tash Ditch, and Jacob Slough that support the local ranching economy. To the east, the terrain rises into Goodrich Gulch and Dry Georgia Gulch, while the valley floor is dotted with family-named landmarks and infrastructure including Bayers Ranch Rd and the Twin Bridges Airport. Local history is anchored by the Masonic Cem and Twin Bridges Cem, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research. The mapping of Hells Canyon and Bain Springs in the northern sections further illustrates the transition from the fertile river basin to the more arid upland country.
