2011 Map of Hogback Mountain

About this map

Hogback Mountain dominates this high-elevation terrain in Lewis and Clark County, where a network of gulches and canyons defines the drainage patterns into Beaver Creek and Soup Creek. The landscape reflects a mix of remote wilderness and established backcountry access, notably along Beaver Creek Rd and York Rd. Historical land use is evidenced by family-named landmarks like the B K Ranch and the small settlement at Smith. Recreation is a primary feature of the modern era here, with the Pike Gulch Campground and Vigilante Campground situated near the dramatic Trout Creek Canyon. Curiously named features such as Barking Dog, Slaughter Pen Gulch, and Refrigerator Canyon suggest a colorful local history of ranching, hunting, and early exploration through these mountains and valleys.
