2020 Map of Bad Luck Creek

About this map

Madison River and West Fork Madison River converge in this high-altitude landscape within the Beaverhead National Forest. This modern survey documents a topography defined by steep drainage networks and thermal features, notably the Wolf Creek Hot Spring and several named springs such as 10S01E04CCCC01 Spring. The rugged elevations are anchored by Alex Diekmann Peak and Gold Butte, while the valley floors show modern land use through the Sun West Ranch and road developments like Badluck Way. The map preserves the location of Hutchins Bridge, a critical crossing point for the river system. Hydrological detail is dense, following the paths of Sun Creek, Moose Creek, and Papoose Creek as they feed into the primary river corridors near the Secret Lakes.
