2017 Map of Casey Peak

About this map

The Elkhorn Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Helena National Forest, straddling the border between Jefferson and Broadwater counties. This 2017 survey shows a complex network of high mountain meadows and basins, including Casey Meadows, Horsethief Park, and Sheep Park, which are tucked between prominent summits like Casey Peak and High Peak. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by the headwaters of McClellan Creek, Crystal Creek, and Beaver Creek, reflecting the rugged watershed management of central Montana. Access to these remote elevations is limited to corridors like McClellan Creek Rd and Pole Creek Rd, illustrating the intersection of modern forest management and historical wilderness. Features such as Corral Mtn and the curiosly named Airplane Park suggest a long history of local use, from grazing to emergency aviation landmarks.
