About this map

Deerlodge National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the peaks of Mount Emerine and Point Lookout oversee a complex network of drainages. The area is characterized by its alpine hydrology, featuring notable bodies of water such as Medicine Lake and the high-mountain Fuse Lake. The West Fork Rock Creek and Sand Basin Creek carve through the terrain, suggesting a landscape defined by seasonal snowmelt and remote drainages typical of the northern Rockies.

Industrial activity is evidenced by the presence of the Congdon Mine near Elk Creek in the south, reflecting the region's history of mineral exploration. Though sparse in population, the map identifies the settlement of Bowles and an Electronic Site on a prominent ridge. For the historian or researcher, this 1990s survey provides a detailed record of land use and resource management within the national forest, from the remote Emerine Spring to the primary creek forks.
