2014 Map of Mount Evans

About this map

The Continental Divide serves as the backbone of this high-altitude landscape in Deer Lodge County, where the peaks of Mt Evans and Mt Howe dominate the terrain. This 2014 survey documents a complex network of alpine hydrology, including Fourmile Basin Lakes, Lake of the Isle, and Miller Lake. The map illustrates the jurisdictional boundary where the Deerlodge National Forest meets the Beaverhead National Forest, reflecting long-standing federal land management in the Anaconda Range. Watercourses such as Storm Lake Cr and Tenmile Cr drain from the heights, while the presence of Nelson Gulch and Fourmile Basin indicates the glacial and erosional forces that have shaped these summits. For researchers, the map provides a contemporary record of the trails and stream systems that have defined this portion of the Montana Rockies for generations.
