2014 Map of Elevation Mountain

About this map

Garnet and Beartown anchor this high-altitude landscape where the borders of Missoula, Powell, and Granite counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches—including First Chance Gulch, Cave Gulch, and Secret Gulch—that suggest a legacy of mineral exploration and mountain passage. In the north, Yreka sits near the headwaters of Elk Cr, while the eastern peaks are dominated by Elevation Mtn and Nineteen ten Ridge. The map illustrates the complex relationship between high ridges like Anaconda Hill and the deep drainage basins of Tenmile Cr and Deep Cr. Settlements such as Springtown and Reynolds City are connected by a web of mountain routes including Deep Gulch Rd and the Montana Lobe Trl, reflecting the area's history of rugged western settlement and resource extraction.
