About this map

Deerlodge National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this 2014 survey, defining a landscape of high-elevation hydrology and prominent ridges in Granite County. The drainage network is anchored by the Middle Fork Rock Creek, which receives several tributaries including Moose Meadow Cr and Copper Cr. Distinctive terrain features like Lone Pine Ridge and Sagebrush Flat reveal the varied alpine and sub-alpine environments of the region.

Remote alpine lakes are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including Moose Lake, Kaiser Lake, Susie Lake, and Whetstone Lake. Human access is limited to a handful of county roads such as Moose Lake Rd and Co Rd 5107, which primarily serve the lower elevations and creek valleys. This map captures the territory before modern developments, showing the pristine state of the Falls Fork Rock Cr headwaters and the surrounding timberlands.
