2014 Map of Lower Miner Lakes

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest defines the landscape of this high-elevation Montana region, where a complex network of mountain drainages feeds into the Lower Miner Lakes. The terrain is characterized by a series of alpine meadows and clearings, including Gravelle Park and Berry Meadows, which provide breaks in the timbered slopes. Transportation through this remote section of Beaverhead County is primarily limited to forest routes like Miner Lake Rd and Englejard Rd, which track the contours of the land to reach significant water bodies like Englejard Lake. Numerous tributaries such as Miner Cr, Hamby Cr, and Little Lake Cr carve through the mountain ranges, illustrating the natural water management of the Continental Divide's eastern slopes during the early 21st century.
