About this map

Beaverhead National Forest defines the northern reaches of this landscape, where the terrain drops from the high slopes of the forest into the broad expanse of the Centennial Valley. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the waters of the Lima Reservoir, a significant catchment fed by the Red Rock River. The hydrologic network here is intricate, with numerous drainage systems such as Clover Fork, Sandy Creek, and Wolverine Creek carving through the foothills toward the valley floor.

Local landmarks provide evidence of ranching and land use in this corner of Beaverhead County. At the southeastern edge of the reservoir, Lyons Bridge serves as a crossing point near the entrance of Price Creek. Infrastructure is sparse in this high-country environment, limited largely to primitive routes like Price Lane and an isolated Drill Hole, reflecting the remote and agrarian nature of the valley during the late twentieth century.
