About this map

The high-altitude terrain of the Tobacco Root Mountains dominates this portion of Madison County, where the settlement of Mammoth sits along the S Boulder River. The landscape is defined by steep drainages and prominent peaks, including Manhead Mtn, Brownback Mtn, and Dead Mtn. Water is a primary feature of the topography, with remote alpine basins holding Rock Cr Lake, Beall Lake, and Curly Lake.

Evidence of the area's resource-based history is visible through specialized infrastructure like the Old Miners Cabin Driveway and the winding course of S Boulder Rd. Most of the land falls within protected boundaries, spanning both the Deerlodge National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest. From the depths of Hells Hole to the springs of Five-Trout Spring, the map documents a territory shaped by difficult access and high-country hydrology.
