About this map

Beaverhead National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape in the southern reaches of Beaverhead County, where the high ridgelines are traversed by the Continental Divide NST. This 2017 survey details a wilderness drainage system shaped by Miner Cr, Gravelle Cr, and Hamby Cr, which flow through the steep topography of the Pioneer Mountains. The map is a vital record of forest access and recreation, centering on the Lower Miner Lakes and the open meadow terrain of Gravelle Park.

Remote outposts like Berry Meadows are documented alongside seasonal water features such as Englejard Lake. The primary corridor for exploration is Miner Lake Rd, which provides the main transition from the lower valleys into the high country. For the researcher or outdoorsman, these records illustrate the modern management of federal lands and the precise placement of trail systems relative to historical township and range boundaries like t6s r16w.
