About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape where the Bitterroot Range meets the Anaconda Range. This 1997 revision of earlier surveys documents a protected wilderness interior, dominated by the Anaconda Pintler Wilderness and the Beaverhead National Forest. Significant water bodies such as Mussigbrod Lake and its corresponding Mussigbrod Campground serve as primary points of interest for backcountry navigation and recreation.

Smaller alpine lakes like Continental Lake, Crystal Lake, and Mystic Lake are scattered across the high basins, with the Mystic Lake FS Station providing a rare structural landmark in the northern reaches. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by the branching networks of Thompson Creek and Mussigbrod Creek, illustrating the remote topography along the Ravalli Co Beaverhead Co line during the late twentieth century.
