About this map

The Tendoy Mountains define the high country of this Montana landscape, where the Beaverhead National Forest manages a network of canyons and vital water sources. The drainages of Medicine Lodge Cr and Deer Canyon Cr carve through the terrain, punctuated by named peaks like Sourdough Point and several specialized canyons including McKenzie Canyon and Limekiln Canyon.

Hydrological data is particularly dense here, reflecting the importance of water in this arid mountain environment. A series of uniquely named springs, such as Wagon Box Spring, Dead Horse Spring, and Nut Pine Spring, are documented alongside the Poison Lakes. Evidence of high-altitude navigation is visible via routes like Scotts Rd and Swamps Rd, which provide access through Johnson Gulch and the surrounding wilderness areas near the Idaho border.
