About this map

Vinegar Hill dominates the center of this 1968 landscape in Beaverhead County, where high-elevation drainage patterns define the geography. The map captures a high-country environment where narrow watercourses like Price Creek and Teddy Creek flow through deeply etched terrain. Significant water sources for the area are noted by labels such as Box Springs and Little Sage Creek, which reflect the essential hydrology of the Montana range.

The presence of numerous unnamed Spring and Springs labels across the slopes, alongside Bear Creek and Basin Creek, indicates a terrain managed for livestock or wildlife rather than dense settlement. Surveyed just before the 1970s, the map provides a precise look at the township lines and section boundaries of T. 11 S. and T. 12 S., showing the intersection of public land survey systems with the natural features of the Continental Divide region.
