About this map

Mount Edith and Mount Baldy dominate this high-altitude Montana landscape, serving as the central headwaters for a complex drainage system in the early twenty-first century. The terrain is defined by a network of alpine lakes, including Edith Lake, Hidden Lake, and Grace Lake, which feed the various forks of the surrounding creek systems. The presence of The Needles suggests a fractured, rocky geology typical of the region's prominent ridges.

Water distribution is the primary feature of this area, with the North Fork Deep Creek, Russell Fork Deep Creek, and Granger Fork radiating from the central peaks. Human infrastructure is minimal, represented largely by Holloway Rd and several forest service routes that navigate the steep elevations. This 2011 survey captures the area's hydrography before significant modern changes, documenting the precise locations of remote water bodies like Upper Baldy Lake and the various tributaries of Big Birch Creek.
