2017 Map of Mount Edith

About this map

Helena National Forest dominates the high-elevation landscape of the Big Belt Mountains, centered on the prominent peak of Mount Edith. This 2017 topographic record details a terrain defined by dramatic alpine cirques and basins that hold Edith Lake, Grace Lake, and Upper Baldy Lake below the steep western slopes of Mt Baldy. The map documents a complex drainage network where waters divide toward Gipsy Cr in the north and the multiple branches of N Fork Deep Creek to the south. A transition from Meagher County to Broadwater County follows the high ridgelines, marking a boundary that separates the watersheds. The presence of named features like The Needles and Windy Ridge suggests the sharp, exposed character of the crests, while lower elevations are carved by deep drainages such as Holloway Gulch and East Fork Cabin Gulch.
