2017 Map of Kitty Creek

About this map

The Continental Divide forms the backbone of this high-elevation landscape, where the borders of Beaverhead National Forest and Salmon National Forest meet. This terrain is defined by the headwaters of numerous drainages, including Bloody Dick Cr and Kitty Cr, which flow through deep mountain valleys like Hughes Gulch. The presence of the Continental Divide NST and various loop trails such as the Warm-Springs-Agency-Loop-WT highlights the area's long-standing use for high-country transit between Idaho and Montana. To the north, Reservoir Lake serves as a prominent water feature near the convergence of Lake Cr and Bloody Dick Cr. The map preserves the names of numerous local springs and minor peaks, including Pyatt Springs and Pyramid Hill, illustrating the complex hydrology and topography along the state line.
