About this map

Deerlodge National Forest covers much of this high-elevation region in Granite County, where mountain peaks and drainage basins define the wilderness character. The prominent summit of Mt Emerine stands at the eastern edge, while Point Lookout provides a vantage over the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Water sources are critical here, with Medicine Lake and Fuse Lake tucked into the mountain slopes, feeding a network of streams including Sand Basin Cr, Duncie Cr, and the upper reaches of W Fork Rock Cr.

Transportation is limited to rugged routes like Skalkaho Rd, which winds through the northern sections, and several county roads such as Co RD 5071 and Co RD 5070 that access the Sand Basin interior. This landscape remains largely unsettled, dominated by forestry and natural features like Emerine Spring, reflecting a long-standing pattern of public land use and watershed protection in western Montana.
