About this map

Mount Powell and Deer Lodge Mountain dominate this high-altitude landscape in Deer Lodge County, where a complex network of alpine hydrology feeds the valley below. The 2011 survey reveals a managed water system through features like the Martin Lake Dam, Lower Elliot Lake Dam, and Bohn Lake Dam, which regulate the flow of creeks including Tin Cup Joe Creek and Dempsey Creek.

The presence of high-elevation meadows like Marble Park and Big Park suggests traditional summer grazing or recreational use, while the Racetrack Campground along Racetrack Creek highlights the area's modern role for outdoor enthusiasts. Road access is limited to the periphery, with Modesty Creek Rd and Racetrack Rd providing the primary entries into this steep terrain of canyons and peaks such as Bielenberg Canyon and Red Butte.
