2011 Map of Mount Tahepia

About this map

Hecla Mines and a dense cluster of high-altitude extraction sites define the northern reaches of this Beaverhead County landscape. Clustered around Lion Mountain and Cleve Mountain, operations like the Cleopatra Mine, True Blue Mine, and Franklin Mine reveal a legacy of mountain-side prospecting. The terrain is marked by steep peaks, including Mount Tahepia and Brownes Peak, with drainage systems like Canyon Creek and Trapper Creek cutting through the valleys. While the area is dominated by industrial history and mountain terrain, the Canyon Creek Guest Ranch and various alpine lakes such as Vera Lake and Tahepia Lake suggest a transition toward recreation and land management by the early 21st century.
