2020 Map of Casey Peak

About this map

The Elkhorn Mountains define this high-elevation landscape within the Helena National Forest, centered on the prominent Casey Peak. This area in Jefferson and Broadwater counties is characterized by a series of high parks and meadows, including Montgomery Park, Horsethief Park, and the lower Elk Park. The drainage pattern is complex, with McClellan Creek flowing to the west while Beaver Creek and Jackson Creek carve deep valleys through the eastern slopes. Evidence of land use is visible in the network of forest roads like Pole Creek Rd and Crystal Creek Rd, accessing higher elevations like High Peak. The curiously named Airplane Park and Casey Meadows suggest a long history of local use within this mountain range, which serves as a significant watershed for the region's downstream communities.
