About this map

The Beaverhead Mountains define the high-altitude border between Idaho and Montana, where the Continental Divide winds through the northern portion of this region. This landscape is a corridor of historical movement, marked by the crossing at Bannack Pass and the path of the Emigrant Trail Rd in the south. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Warm Creek and the multiple forks of Fritz Creek, which flow toward the Medicine Lodge Bench.

Evidence of high-country habitation and transit is centered around Fritz Cabin and the proximity of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The map illustrates a complex network of forest access roads including Medicine Lodge Rd and Bannack Pass Rd, serving the vast acreage of the Beaverhead National Forest and Targhee National Forest. Local landmarks like Fritz Peak and Big Spring provide specific points of reference for those tracing historical land use and travel routes through this section of Clark County.
