About this map

Maurice Mountain stands as a central high point in this high-elevation landscape of Beaverhead County, defining the drainage patterns for numerous cold-water creeks. The Wise River flows through the western portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Lacy Creek and Elk Creek. This region reflects a history of both resource extraction and backcountry recreation, evidenced by the presence of the Jacobson Meadows Mine and the NW NW Section 2 Mine located near Jacobson Meadows.

Lower-elevation areas such as Mono Park and Moose Park provide flat openings among the drainages of Mono Creek and Sheldon Creek. For those tracing local history, the Maurice Cemetery is situated near Maurice Pond, while recreational infrastructure is marked by the Little Joe Campground and Mono Creek Campground. The eastern reaches of the map include isolated water bodies like Lake Abundance and Crescent Lake, highlighting the remote character of this mountain terrain during the early 21st century.
