About this map

Maiden Peak stands as a central landmark in this high-elevation wilderness, where a series of prominent summits including Blue Mountain, Green Mountain, and Elk Mountain define a landscape of steep drainages and alpine basins. The area is characterized by a concentrated cluster of small mountain lakes at the headwaters of Grand Creek, including Grand Lake, Moose Lake, and Gladys Lake. These water bodies are situated within Grand Valley, providing a stark contrast to the nearby Badger Valley.

Human presence is limited to recreational infrastructure accessible via Deer Park Rd, which leads to the Deer Park Campground. Further into the backcountry, the Roaring Winds Camp offers a remote stopping point for those navigating the terrain between Morse Creek and McDonald Creek. The map documents a complex network of tributaries, such as the West Fork Siebert Creek and East Fork Siebert Creek, which carve through the ridges in the early 21st century.
