2011 Map of Danaher Mountain

About this map

Danaher Mountain and its surrounding peaks define this high-country landscape in Lewis and Clark County, where the Continental Divide separates major western Montana watersheds. This 2011 survey documents a topography of significant elevation changes, from the alpine heights of Alloy Mountain and Grace Mountain down to the riparian corridor of Danaher Creek. The map details the headwaters of several drainages, including the Dry Fork North Fork Blackfoot River and the source waters of Limestone Creek. A notable topographical feature is the Dry Fork Flathead Divide, a geographical boundary marking the split between river systems. The open area of Danaher Meadows contrasts with the surrounding steep terrain of Pinnacle Peak and Apex Mountain, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns and mountain passes like Limestone Pass that have historically guided movement through this backcountry.
