2017 Map of Dickie Peak

About this map

French Town sits at the edge of a high-altitude drainage network where the Beaverhead National Forest meets the Deerlodge National Forest. This 2017 survey details the complex topography of the Continental Divide region along the boundary of Deer Lodge and Silver Bow Counties. The landscape is defined by deep incisions like French Gulch and Coyote Gulch, which channel snowmelt from prominent summits such as Dickie Peak and Johnson Peak. The map reveals a land utilized for both timber management and high-country recreation, evidenced by the presence of Fish Lake and Mud Lake. Significant drainages including American Cr and German Gulch are traced through their upper reaches, while high meadows like Selway Meadows and New Meadows provide breaks in the forested terrain, illustrating the remote and specialized nature of this Montana mountain environment.
