2020 Map of Mussigbrod Lake

About this map

Mussigbrod Lake lies at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the Anaconda Range meets the boundary of the Bitterroot National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest. This remote stretch of the Continental Divide is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes including Crystal Lake, Lion Lake, and Hope Lake, all positioned along the winding path of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by Mussigbrod Cr and Plimpton Cr, which flow through the steep terrain and into the broader Clam Valley. Access to this secluded corner of the Montana wilderness is primarily provided by Mussigbrod Rd, connecting the lake to the outer forest boundaries. The map provides a precise look at the hydrologic features of the region, including the 01S16W08BCAB01 Spring and numerous unnamed tributaries.
