2017 Map of Foolhen Mountain

About this map

Fishtrap and the Big Hole River anchor the northwest corner of this terrain, where the boundary between Deer Lodge Co and Beaverhead Co follows the river's winding course. Much of the landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Beaverhead National Forest, rising toward the prominent summit of Foolhen Mtn and the adjacent Foolhen Ridge. The map details a network of forest service roads including Calvert Creek Rd and Bryant Creek Rd, which provide access to remote high-country features such as Trident Peak and the alpine waters of Ferguson Lake. This 2017 survey reveals a classic Montana mountain geography where seasonal drainage systems like Sawlog Cr and Tucker Cr carve through the timbered slopes, creating distinctive landmarks such as Moose Park and Trident Meadows that have likely served as orientation points for generations of outdoorsmen.
