2014 Map of Manger Park

About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses the high country of the Castle Mountains in this modern topographic survey of Meagher County. The landscape is defined by its dramatic peaks, including Beartrap Peak, Wapiti Peak, and Woodchuck Mtn. This area serves as a significant watershed for the region, where the S Fork Smith River emerges in the southwest and numerous drainages like Cottonwood Cr and Warm Springs Cr flow from the central highlands. High-altitude clearings such as Manger Park and water sources like Miller Spring provide critical landmarks for those navigating the backcountry. While primarily a wilderness area, the presence of Ford Creek Rd and Us-89 at the margins indicate the established access routes into this mountainous terrain, which remains largely untouched by dense settlement.
