About this map

Deerlodge National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Montana’s Granite County, dominated by the prominent summit of Mount Emerine. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system where the W Fork Rock Cr and its various tributaries, including N Fork Rock Cr and Duncie Cr, carve through the steep timbered slopes. This modern survey illustrates the enduring nature of this wilderness area, highlighting geological and hydrological features like Fuse Lake and the marshy margins of Medicine Lake.

Access into this backcountry is primary facilitated by Skalkaho Rd, which winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle. Local landmarks such as Sand Basin and Emerine Gulch suggest a history of seasonal range use and resource exploration within the forest. Significant vertical relief is mapped between the low creek beds and high points like Point Lookout, providing a detailed view of the watershed's structure in the early 21st century.
