2020 Map of Leonard Creek

About this map

The Tobacco Root Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Beaverhead National Forest. This 2020 edition provides a modern view of a region defined by its complex drainage systems, where water flows from high peaks through corridors like Sawlog Creek and the Spring Branch of Virginia Creek. The terrain is marked by significant features such as Leonard Ridge, which separates the drainages of Dry Leonard Creek and Leonard Creek. A network of Forest Service development roads and named trails, including Elk Trail Rd and Elk View Rd, reflects the area's use for recreation and land management. Along the eastern edge, the transition from forest to lower-elevation land is evidenced by road names like Hughes Ranch Rd and Green Acre Ln, signaling the presence of private holdings and ranching history in Madison County.
