About this map

The Pioneer Mountains define this high-altitude landscape within the Beaverhead National Forest, where a complex network of glacial cirques and alpine basins creates a high density of named water bodies. Peaks such as Mt Tahepia, Mt Alverson, and Sheriff Mtn provide the topographic backbone for a wilderness area characterized by numerous small lakes, including Grace Lake, Canyon Lake, and the distinctly named Teacup Lake.

Transport through this part of Beaverhead County is limited to primitive routes like Trapper Creek Rd and Willow Creek Rd, which provide access to the drainages of Trapper Cr and Willow Cr. Settlement is nearly non-existent in this vertical terrain, with Yanks Pasture standing out as a rare named landing or clearing amidst the surrounding peaks. The drainage patterns of Rock Cr and Canyon Cr highlight the erosional forces that have shaped these summits and ridges over millennia.
