2014 Map of Maverick Mountain

About this map

Maverick Mtn rises as the central landmark in this high-elevation landscape within the Beaverhead National Forest. This 2014 survey documents the complex drainage systems of the Pioneer Mountains, where the Big Hole Divide separates major watersheds. The map details a network of alpine streams including Wyman Cr, Beaver Cr, and Shoestring Cr that feed into the larger valleys below. In the southeast, the terrain transitions into the Grasshopper Valley, a region shaped by historical ranching and water management, evidenced by the presence of Pyle Ditch. These waterways, alongside others like Old Tim Cr and Cottonwood Cr, reflect the vital importance of snowmelt and seasonal runoff to the regional ecology and local agriculture.
