About this map

Mt Emerine and the surrounding high country of the Deerlodge National Forest define this landscape within Granite County. The terrain is a network of drainage basins and ridges, where the headwaters of the W Fork Rock Cr and N Fork Rock Cr carve through the mountain front. Human presence is largely defined by the winding path of State Hwy 38 and the historic Skalkaho Rd, which provide access to the high-altitude basins and interior forest.

Remote water features like Fuse Lake in the north and Medicine Lake near the southern boundary suggest a landscape of glacial cirques and high-alpine hydrology. The map identifies specific landmarks like Point Lookout and Emerine Gulch, alongside the expansive Sand Basin area, which provide clear navigational points for those researching the geography of the Sapphire Mountains and the Skalkaho Pass corridor.
