2017 Map of Burnt Mountain

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape southwest of Butte, marking the structural backbone of the region. This 2017 survey shows the transition between the Deerlodge National Forest and the Beaverhead National Forest, a terrain dominated by drainage systems like German Gulch and N Fork Divide Cr. The prominence of Fleecer Ridge and Starlight Mtn defines the local topography, which is carved by numerous namesake gulches including American Gulch, Greenland Gulch, and Powder Gulch. Human infrastructure is limited to rugged corridors such as German Gulch Rd and Divide Creek Rd, reflecting the area's primary role as protected forest and watershed land. Researchers will find a preserved wilderness where Delano Spring and Olson Park provide specific landmarks within the larger national forest system.
