About this map

Welch and the surrounding wilderness of the Deerlodge National Forest define this high-elevation landscape in the late 2010s. The map captures a complex network of forest roads, including Delmoe Lake Rd and Starvation Pt Rd, which navigate the steep drainage basins of Big Pipestone Creek and Homestake Creek. Water is a central feature of the terrain, from the prominent Delmoe Lake in the northwest to the isolated Coyote Flat Spring.

Elevations vary significantly across the quadrangle, anchored by granite landmarks like Spire Rock and the broad reaches of Spire Rock Flats. The geography is dotted with family-named features such as Hatcher Flat and McClusky Mtn, alongside evocative local place names like Whiskey Gulch and Pole Canyon. This survey provides a modern record of the intersection between public forest land and the natural water systems that feed the region's mountain valleys.
