2020 Map of Caribou Peak

About this map

The Lewis and Clark Range dominates this landscape along the continental divide, where high peaks and deep drainage basins define the border between the Lewis & Clark National Forest and the Helena National Forest. At the heart of the quadrangle stands Caribou Peak, surrounded by a network of alpine water features including Bighorn Lake and the headwaters of the Landers Fork. The map detail highlights a rugged wilderness preserved from development, with the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winding across the ridges. Early travel and access routes are represented by the Sheep Creek Trail and Landers Fork Trail, which navigate through gulches like Skull Gulch and Toms Gulch. This 2020 survey provides an intricate look at the hydraulic systems of the Rockies, from the S Fork Blacktail Cr in the northwest to the Alice Mountains in the southeast.
