About this map

Bearpaw Mine sits at the head of a drainage system in this high-altitude corner of Beaverhead County, Montana. The landscape is defined by a dense network of mountain water bodies including Schwinegar Lake, Odell Lake, and the small Lake of the Woods, which feed a complex web of named creeks. These waterways, such as Odell Creek and Lacy Creek, carve through the terrain between prominent peaks like Table Mountain and Seymore Mountain.

Human activity is concentrated along primitive forest access routes like Lacy Creek Rd and Wyman Creek Rd. The presence of the Anderson Meadows Cow Camp on Wyman Creek illustrates the seasonal agricultural use of these high meadows. The map documents a classic Montana backcountry arrangement, where high-elevation mining and ranching outposts coexist among the lakes and ridges of the northern Rockies.
