About this map

The Continental Divide runs through this section of the Northern Rockies, where the high country transitions from the Lewis and Clark National Forest into the Lolo National Forest. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Dearborn River and the North Fork Blackfoot River, which flow from high ridges like the Grassy Hills and Carmichael Basin.

Evidence of early forest management and remote surveillance is visible at the Welcome Creek Guard Sta and the Steamboat Mtn Lookout. A network of historic transportation routes, including the Cave Creek Trail (Pack) and Lookout Trail (Pack), connects isolated landmarks like the Grassy Hills Cabin and Twin Lakes. This 1970 data reflects the area's use as a protected wilderness and watershed before modern encroachment, focused on pack trails rather than developed roads.
