About this map

Elkhorn Hot Springs serves as a primary point of interest in this high-altitude reach of the Beaverhead National Forest, where thermal waters meet the rugged landscape of the Pioneer Mountains. The map reveals a high concentration of subalpine features, including the Dingley Lakes, Hopkin Lake, and Sawtooth Lake, all carved into the terrain surrounding peaks like Comet Mtn and Highboy Mtn.

Drainages such as Grasshopper Cr and Elkhorn Cr define the valley floors, providing natural corridors through the peaks. Recreational and local history landmarks like Crystal Park and Saint Louis Gulch are situated north of the main settlement area, while the Pioneer Mountains Scenic Byway winds through Grasshopper Valley, connecting these isolated mountain parks and mining-era named gulches. The survey detail illustrates the complex topography of the Alturas Number One Mtn and Alturas Number Two Mtn massifs in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
