2014 Map of Hyde Creek

About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses the high country of the Continental Divide in this northern Montana survey, where the border between Glacier and Pondera Counties bisects the terrain. The landscape is defined by massive formations like Lubec Ridge and Two Medicine Ridge, which overlook a complex network of alpine drainages including the S Fork Two Medicine River and the headwaters of Deep Creek. Significant peaks such as Mt Pablo and Mt Baldy rise above the valleys, while the secluded Dog Gun Lake sits at the terminus of Dog Gun Lake Road. The drainage patterns here are intricate, with numerous streams like Whiterock Creek and Red Poacher Creek carving through the slopes. This map provides a clear view of the high-altitude wilderness before the expansion of modern infrastructure, preserving the route of the Hughes Trail and the names of remote coulees such as Mettler Coulee.
