About this map

Deer Lodge National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Tenmile Cr, Slaughterhouse Cr, and French Cr, which carve through the prominent Moose Ridge and Wolf Ridge Rd areas. The boundary between Deer Lodge and Silver Bow counties meets at the southern edge near the Big Hole River, a vital water source for the region.

Local landmarks such as Lincoln Gulch and Mariah Meadows offer specific points of interest for those tracing the geographic history of the Continental Divide. Remote access is facilitated by primitive routes like Deep Creek Rd and Seymour Lake Rd, which connect the various gulches—including Woods Gulch and Johnson Gulch—to the larger valley systems. The survey also captures natural features like Bear Mtn and Still Gulch, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the area before it feeds into the larger Montana river networks.
