1997 Map of Whiskey Spring

About this map

The Blacktail State Wildlife Management Area and the Beaverhead National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of Beaverhead County. The map is defined by the hydrologic network of the West Fork Blacktail Deer Creek, Middle Fork Blacktail Deer Creek, and South Fork Blacktail Deer Creek, which carve deep drainages through the terrain. Human presence is concentrated at the Cornell Ranch and along the Cornell Trail, illustrating the intersection of private ranching and public land management in late-twentieth-century Montana.
