About this map

Dickie Peak stands as a prominent landmark along the boundary of Deer Lodge and Silver Bow Counties, marking a high point in a landscape defined by the Continental Divide. The area serves as a critical conservation zone, encompassing the Mount Haggin State Wildlife Management Area and portions of both the Deerlodge National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest. This late 20th-century revision reflects a terrain deeply shaped by historic resource extraction, evidenced by sites like the Hungry Hill Mine and Patsy Ann Mine.

Drainages such as American Creek, Little California Creek, and Beefstraight Creek carve through the high country, leading toward high-altitude clearings like Johnson Park and Selway Meadows. Remote outposts such as French Town and the Long Tom Cabin indicate the scattered human footprint in this wilderness, while the Butte Wise River Road provides the primary transit corridor through the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
