About this map

Baldy Mountain dominates the high-elevation landscape of this 2011 survey, situated along the mountainous border between Montana and Idaho. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Tenmile Creek, Clear Creek, and Simpson Creek, which carve through the high country. Near the northeastern corner, Morrison Lake sits as a primary water feature, accessed by the appropriately named Morrison Lake Rd. This area of Beaverhead County reflects a land largely shaped by its natural geography rather than permanent settlement.

Local landmarks such as Lake Gulch and the evocatively named Horsethief Canyon provide points of reference for those navigating this portion of the Continental Divide. The complex hydrography, featuring names like Poison Creek, Coyote Creek, and Chamberlain Creek, illustrates the seasonal water flow and rugged topography characteristic of this region of the Northern Rockies in the early twenty-first century.
