2017 Map of Mount Tahepia

About this map

The Pioneer Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Beaverhead National Forest. This terrain is defined by a dense concentration of alpine lakes and dramatic peaks, including Mt Tahepia and Mt Alverson. The map reveals a complex glaciated geography where numerous water bodies like Canyon Lake, Grayling Lake, and Waukena Lake occupy cirques and basins. A sophisticated network of drainage follows steep gradients, with Canyon Cr and Trapper Cr carrying snowmelt down from the high ridges. Named summits such as Lion Mtn, Sheriff Mtn, and Brownes Peak provide a topographical framework for this wilderness area. The absence of developed roads and settlements underscores the primitive character of the forest, emphasizing its role as a preserved natural environment where surveyors recorded landmarks like Cleve Park and Yanks Pasture amidst the high-altitude meadows.
