2017 Map of Everson Creek

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest land dominates this high-elevation landscape along the Continental Divide in Montana. The area is defined by its network of mountain drainages, with the headwaters of Everson Creek flowing eastward to join Horse Prairie Creek. Historically significant routes traverse this terrain, most notably the climb toward Lemhi Pass, a critical crossing point between the Missouri and Columbia River basins. The map illustrates the specialized naming conventions of the region, where local gulches like Sullivan Gulch and Magpie Gulch sit alongside creek names that hint at the area’s ranching and mining history, such as Maiden Creek and Jeff Davis Creek. Roads like China Town Road and Maiden Creek Road follow the natural contours of the mountain passes, reflecting the historical movement of people and livestock across these high meadows.
