About this map

Caribou Peak and the surrounding high country of Lewis and Clark County dominate this landscape at the dawn of the 2010s. This drainage system reveals a complex network of alpine headwaters, where the Landers Fork and Fickler Creek gather from the southern slopes. To the north, the terrain rises toward Monitor Mountain and Bear Den Mountain, while the western reaches are defined by Bighorn Creek and its associated Bighorn Lake.

The map documentations significant mountain watercourses like Baking Powder Creek and the multiple branches of West Fork Falls Creek. These labels trace the historical nomenclature used by early travelers and Forest Service rangers navigating this portion of the northern Rockies. From the deep cut of Skull Gulch to the high ridges of the Alice Mountains, the geography here remains focused on the natural watershed patterns and high-altitude topography of the Lewis and Clark National Forest area.
