1989 Map of Badger Creek

About this map

The Continental Divide crests through this high-elevation wilderness in the late 1980s, marking the hydrological split where water begins its journey toward either the Pacific or Atlantic. This remote landscape is defined by the high Two Ocean Plateau, a massive upland where the headwaters of several major river systems originate. The Yellowstone River flows along the eastern edge of the plateau, while the Snake River emerges to the south, showcasing the critical role this terrain plays in the Western water network.
