2014 Map of Mount Edith

About this map

Mt Edith and Mt Baldy define the high-elevation divide where Broadwater County and Meagher County meet. This mountainous region of the Helena National Forest is characterized by a series of alpine lakes, including Edith Lake, Hidden Lake, Grace Lake, and Upper Baldy Lake, which feed the complex drainage systems of the Big Belt Mountains. The map illustrates a stark topography where deep drainages like Holloway Gulch and the various forks of Cabin Gulch fall away from prominent ridges such as Windy Ridge and the jagged formation known as The Needles. Infrastructure is limited to remote access routes like Natl Forest Develop Rd 423 Rd, reflecting the primitive state of this wilderness area in the early 21st century.
