2017 Map of Fan Mountain

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest dominates this section of Madison County, where high-elevation drainage patterns define the landscape. The prominent Fan Mtn serves as a central landmark, flanked by the Elk Valley and the expansive Shell Creek basin. Man-made water management is evident in the north with the H-Lazy Ditch and Jack Cr Ditch, diverting water through the varied terrain near Jack Cr. A network of specialized routes like Jack Creek Rd and the Royal Tine Trl provide access to these remote slopes. These features illustrate the intersection of conservation lands and early water rights infrastructure, with numerous seasonal streams such as McDeed Cr and Tolman Creek feeding into the larger mountain watershed.
