About this map

Deerlodge National Forest covers this high-altitude landscape on the boundary of Powell and Deer Lodge counties. The terrain is defined by massive peaks and glacial features, notably the towering Mt Powell and nearby Deer Lodge Mtn. Water flows from alpine basins like The Crater into a network of high-elevation lakes, including Upper Elliot Lake and Lower Elliot Lake.

A network of drainage systems such as Dempsey Cr and Racetrack Cr carve through the mountains, eventually leading toward the valley floors. In the southern portion of the map, local access roads like Racetrack Rd and Modesty Creek Rd follow the natural contours of the land, providing passage into Bielenberg Canyon and toward high meadows such as South America Park. This survey captures the wilderness character and the hydrographic patterns of the Flint Creek Range.
