Beaverhead Zone Context
East-Central Idaho — Continental Divide
Beaverhead sits along Idaho's eastern boundary with Montana, on the dry side of the Continental Divide. Sage-and-grass benches give way to high timber; elk migrate across the state line seasonally.
Salmon, Leadore, and Lima (Montana) are the supply points. Cross-border ethics and tag rules require attention.
