2014 Map of Varney

About this map

The Madison River flows through the eastern edge of this landscape, where the small settlement of Varney and the Varney Bridge serve as focal points for the local valley geography. To the west, the terrain rises into the Beaverhead National Forest, a region defined by an intricate network of named trails and high-elevation water bodies. Notable among these are Axolotl Lake, Twin Lakes, and Reservoir Lake, along with the curiously named Doubtful Reservoir and Call Road Reservoir. This area is characterized by a high density of specialized forest routes, such as Cow Camp Trl, Stage Coach Trl, and Halo Loop Trl, which navigate the complex ridges and gulches. The drainage systems of Blaine Spring Creek and Wigwam Creek further define the rugged topography, suggesting a landscape managed for both timber and recreation in the early 21st century.
