2024 Map of Long Peak

About this map

Long Peak and Needle Peak dominate the high-altitude landscape of the Anaconda Range in this contemporary Montana survey. The terrain is defined by the intersection of the Anaconda Pintler Wilderness and the Beaverhead National Forest, where a complex network of glacial drainages like West Fork La Marche Creek and the various forks of Fishtrap Creek descend from rocky summits. In the lower elevations, the presence of Paddock Ditch and Anderson Ditch suggests the historical importance of water rights and management for ranching and industry in the Anaconda area. The map traces distinct canyon passages including Camp Hollow and Thompson Gulch, illustrating the transition from protected wilderness to managed forest lands and the valley floor.
