About this map

Helwick Peak and Mosquito Peak define the high elevations of this Sanders County landscape, where the drainage network of the Clark Fork watershed is mapped in detail. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous waterways, most notably Big Beaver Creek and Little Beaver Creek, which draw from the surrounding gulches and points. Named features like Miller Gulch, Foote Gulch, and Anderson Gulch reflect a history of local land use and naming conventions.

Transportation through this mountain environment is facilitated by forest development routes, including the Big Beaver Creek Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 2223 Rd. In the northeast corner, Craik Airport provides a remote aviation waypoint near Beaver Creek. The map documents a landscape primarily managed for forest resources, where peaks like Larch Point and Haines Point serve as significant topographical landmarks above the winding creek beds.
