About this map

Big Hole National Battlefield Nez Perce National Historical Park occupies a central position on this landscape, marking a site of significant cultural and historical weight where the Big Hole River winds through the valley. The map documents a complex intersection of national forests, including the Beaverhead, Deerlodge, Bitterroot, and Salmon National Forests, all converging near the Continental Divide.

Settlement is concentrated around the town of Wisdom and its Wisdom Airport, while the surrounding terrain is defined by the high peaks of the Anaconda Range and the Bitterroot Mountains. Local geography is further detailed by numerous drainages like Fishtrap Creek and Wise River, along with mountain landmarks such as Nipple Peak and Mount Haggin. This 1994 edition records the placement of several Gravel Pits and remote outposts like the Ranger Station near the Idaho-Montana border.
