About this map

The Continental Divide defines the high-altitude boundary between Idaho and Montana in this high-country landscape recorded during the late 1990s. This transition between Beaverhead National Forest and Targhee National Forest centers on Fritz Peak, where a network of gulches and canyons, such as Poison Canyon and Limestone Gulch, drop away from the ridges. Evidence of historical resource exploration is scattered across the terrain in the form of several labeled Prospects and a Quarry near Warm Creek.

Infrastructure is minimal in this wilderness area, primarily consisting of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and the Dillon Dubois Rd. Water sources are vital features in this environment, with the North Fork and South Fork feeding into the larger drainage of Medicine Lodge Creek. The map also clearly delineates administrative lines, including the Dubois Ranger District boundary and the Third Standard Parallel North.
