About this map

Mussigbrod Lake and the high basins of the Anaconda Range define this high-altitude landscape along the continental divide. Situated on the boundary between Ravalli County and Beaverhead County, the area is dominated by protected lands within the Bitterroot National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest. The map documents a dense network of alpine water bodies, including Mystic Lake, Hope Lake, and the clustered Continental and Crystal Lakes.

Drainage patterns are clearly delineated, with Mussigbrod Creek flowing south from its namesake lake, while Howell and Thompson Creeks carve through the eastern slopes. The topographic detail captures the transition from the sharp peaks of the range down into the more level expanse of Clam Valley and the surrounding timberlands, providing an essential record of this wilderness area's natural hydrology and surveyed boundaries in the early 21st century.
