About this map

Mt Powell and Deer Lodge Mtn dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Deerlodge National Forest, where the topography is defined by dramatic glacial cirques and alpine basins. The western slopes are characterized by a series of clustered water bodies, including Martin Lake, Upper Elliot Lake, and Lower Elliot Lake, feeding into Tin Cup Joe Cr. To the east, the terrain drops away into significant natural features like Bielenberg Canyon and South America Park.

The road network is primarily concentrated in the southern and eastern reaches, with routes such as Racetrack Rd and Modesty Creek Rd providing access to the interior. These corridors follow the natural drainage patterns of Racetrack Cr and Modesty Cr, tracing the historical access points into the high country. The boundary between Powell and Deer Lodge counties bisects the southern half of the quadrangle, passing through Thornton Ridge and across the rugged face of the mountains.
