About this map

Bannack Pass provides a high-altitude crossing in this high-country landscape along the Montana-Idaho border, where mountain drainage systems define the geography. The map centers on the headwaters and tributaries of several prominent creeks, including Deadman Creek and its companion, Little Deadman Creek. These watercourses flow through high basins toward Deadman Lake, a central feature of the drainage network. To the south, Divide Creek flows into Divide Creek Lake, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Continental Divide region.

Evidence of seasonal land use is seen at Cow Camp, while a sparse network of forest roads and trails, such as the Fritz Creek Trl and S. Medicinelodge Rd, provides the only access through this remote territory. The presence of North Fork Fritz Creek and South Fork Fritz Creek suggests a landscape shaped by persistent water action in an area dominated by topography rather than permanent settlement.
