About this map

Mount Edith and Mount Baldy dominate the high-altitude landscape of the Helena National Forest along the border of Meagher and Broadwater counties. This 2001 revision, based on surveys dating back to 1970, documents a complex network of alpine hydrology and drainage patterns. High-elevation basins hold several prominent water bodies, including Edith Lake, Hidden Lake, and Upper Baldy Lake, while sharp geographical features like The Needles and Windy Ridge define the ridgelines.

A network of gulches and creeks, such as Holloway Gulch and East Fork Cabin Gulch, carve through the terrain, leading toward the North Fork Deep Creek. Human activity is noted through scattered Prospect and Prospects sites, indicating the history of resource exploration in these Montana highlands. The map provides a precise look at the forest's primitive trail systems and water sources, including numerous identified Spring and Falls locations throughout the backcountry.
