About this map

Continental Divide high country defines this landscape on the border of Montana and Idaho, where the Beaverhead National Forest meets the Salmon National Forest. The geography is shaped by the headwaters of numerous mountain streams, including Bloody Dick Creek and Hughes Creek, which drain the surrounding peaks like Pyramid Hill.

Administrative and recreational markers reflect the area's forest management history, from the Bloody Dick Guard Sta and Hughes Cow Camp to the modern path of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. Transportation through this high-altitude terrain is limited to a few significant routes, most notably the Lewis and Clark Backcountry Byway/Adventure Road, while a small Landing Strip and various Prospects suggest the remote utility and mineral exploration that have long characterized this stretch of the Dillon Leadore Ranger District.
