The Continental Divide serves as the primary geographic axis for this 2014 survey, marking the high boundary between Bitterroot National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest. This montane landscape within the Anaconda Range is characterized by a series of high-altitude glacial lakes, including Buck Lake, Carmine Lake, Surprise Lake, and the smaller Phlox Lake and Violet Lake. The terrain is steeply defined, with Bender Point rising as a prominent landmark overlooking a network of drainage creeks such as Hell Roaring Cr and Mussigbrod Cr. The administrative boundary between Ravalli and Beaverhead counties follows the jagged path of the divide, illustrating the intersection of physical geography and political borders in this protected wilderness area.
