About this map

Mount Evans and Mount Howe dominate this high-elevation portion of Deer Lodge County, where a complex network of glacial cirques and basins feeds numerous drainage systems. The landscape is characterized by its high-country water features, ranging from the cluster at Fourmile Basin Lakes to the sequestered Lake of the Isle. These basins serve as the headwaters for several significant waterways, including Storm Lake Creek and the long descent of Twelvemile Creek.

Transport patterns here are defined by the terrain, with forest service routes tracing the lower elevations of the Seymour Creek and Sullivan Creek drainages. For the historian or researcher, the map illustrates the hydrography of the Continental Divide region, including the source of Mill Creek and the Tenmile Lakes, providing a clear record of the watershed and its topographic landmarks as they were recorded at the start of the 21st century.
