1974 Map of Bender Point

About this map

The Anaconda Range forms a high mountain backbone in this 1970s survey, where the Continental Divide serves as the administrative border between Ravalli and Beaverhead counties. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the intersection of the Bitterroot National Forest and the Beaverhead National Forest, much of which is preserved within the Anaconda Pintlar Wilderness. The map reveals a complex network of alpine hydrology, including Carmine Lake, Surprise Lake, and Phlox Lake, all feeding into steep drainages like Hell Roaring Creek and Bender Creek. Insight into the era's land management is visible through the extensive system of Pack Trails that provided the only access through this roadless interior, connecting landmarks such as Bender Point and the high Buck Ridge Meadows.
