About this map

The Castle Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Lewis & Clark National Forest, where a network of prominent summits and high parks defines the divide between major drainages. Manger Park sits at the center of this mountain block, surrounded by peaks named for local wildlife and landmarks, including Beartrap Peak, Wapiti Peak, and Woodchuck Mtn. This area serves as a critical headwaters region, with numerous forks and creeks radiating from the central high ground.

Hydrological features are particularly dense, ranging from the southern flow of the S Fork Smith River to the complex systems of Cottonwood Creek and Warm Springs Creek. Topographical detail captures the transition from steep timbered ridges to the relatively level mountain meadows. Access into the interior is represented by several forest routes, including Ford Creek Rd, which skirts the western edge of the mountains near Fords Creek.
