About this map

Lower Seymour Lake sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the Anaconda Range meets the southern reaches of the Deerlodge National Forest. The map documents a complex hydraulic network developed to move water across these mountain slopes, including the Bacon Ditch and the Anderson Ditch, which redirect flow toward the Big Hole River valley. This area represents a meeting point of major protected lands, with the Anaconda Pintler Wilderness occupying the northwestern corner and the Beaverhead National Forest spanning the central and southern portions.

Transportation through this terrain is defined by primitive forest roads and significant recreational corridors, most notably the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. Numerous drainages like East Fork La Marche Creek and Seymour Creek carve through the foothills of the Pioneer Mountains in the south, illustrating the drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use and forest management in this part of Montana.
