1997 Map of Maverick Mountain

About this map

Beaverhead Mountain serves as a prominent landmark within the Beaverhead National Forest, dominating a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Big Hole Divide. This 1990s revision of earlier 1950s topography shows the transition between the high peaks and the lower Grasshopper Valley, where Grasshopper Creek flows south toward the Pioneer Mountains. The survey details a network of mountain trails and secondary routes such as the Wisdom Wise River Rd, providing access to remote timber and recreational areas including the Maverick Mountain Ski Area. Named water features like Bear Wallow Creek, Shoestring Creek, and Kunselman Creek trace the intricate hydrology of the area, reflecting a region where water rights and alpine access remained critical to local land use at the close of the twentieth century.
