1997 Map of Foolhen Mountain

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest land dominates this high-country landscape near the Deer Lodge and Beaverhead county line. The terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines like Foolhen Ridge and peaks including Trident Peak and Foolhen Mountain. Historically, the area supported both educational and industrial outposts, evidenced by the Fishtrap School situated near the confluence of Fishtrap Creek and the Big Hole River, and the Calvert Mine tucked beneath Calvert Hill. The network of drainages—from Walker Creek to Alder Creek—illustrates a complex watershed that feeds into the river system. For those interested in forest management and backcountry history, the map preserves the location of the Foolhen Ranger Cabin and the route of the Pioneer Loop NRT, which traverses through Trident Meadows.
