About this map

Carpp Ridge defines this high-elevation landscape in the early 1970s, where the Continental Divide serves as the boundary between the Deerlodge National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest. This remote segment of the Pintlar Range is a terrain of dramatic vertical relief, characterized by glacial cirques and high-altitude water bodies such as Lower Carpp Lake and Spruce Lake.

Evidence of historical resource extraction persists at the Carpp Mine and a secondary Mine site near Dexter Basin. The presence of the Hi Line Trail and landmarks like Blue Grotto Spring indicate a landscape managed for both timber and recreation within the Anaconda Pintlar Wilderness. The map also documents the municipal and topographic division of the Granite Co Deer Lodge Co line as it traverses Beaverhead Mountain.
