About this map

The Continental Divide splits this high-altitude landscape between Beaverhead National Forest in Montana and Targhee National Forest in Idaho. This 2017 survey documents the complex topography of the Beaverhead Mountains, centered on the 8,400-foot summit of Fritz Peak. The area is defined by a network of drainage systems including the headwaters of Fritz Creek, Warm Creek, and the North Fork Fritz Creek.

Historically significant transit through these mountains is represented by the Bannack Pass and the associated Bannack Pass Road, a vital high-elevation crossing. To the south, the Medicine Lodge Bench and Medicine Lodge Road trace the lower slopes, while landmarks like Big Spring and Black Canyon punctuate the deep gulches and canyons that characterize this border region. The map preserves the specific land management boundaries between Beaverhead and Clark counties.
