2017 Map of Carpp Ridge

About this map

The high-elevation terrain of the Anaconda Range dominates this landscape along the border of Deerlodge National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest. Following the spine of the Continental Divide at the southern edge of the map, the topography drops steeply into a series of glacial basins and ridges. Water flows through a network of alpine sources, including Carpp Lake and Lower Carpp Lake, which feed into Carpp Cr as it winds north of Carpp Ridge. The rugged character of the area is further defined by isolated bodies of water like George Lake, Spruce Lake, and Sauer Lake. To the north, the terrain transitions toward McDougal Gulch and Dry Gulch, while the east is marked by the E Fork Reservoir. This 2017 survey captures a preserved wilderness environment where natural landmarks like Beaverhead Mtn and Porter Ridge serve as primary points of orientation.
