About this map

The high alpine country of the Beaverhead National Forest defines this part of Beaverhead County, characterized by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and mountain peaks. Odell Lake sits at the center of a hydrologic network where Odell Creek and Stringer Creek gather from the surrounding slopes. The terrain is marked by significant elevations including Bobcat Mountain to the north and Seymore Mountain to the south, with the flat expanse of Table Mountain providing a distinct landmark between drainage basins.

Lush riparian zones such as Skull Creek Meadows and the Upper Anderson Meadows indicate the seasonal grazing and water resources that have long supported backcountry activity. Access into this high-elevation landscape is traced by primitive routes like Lacy Creek Road and Wyman Creek Road, which follow the natural contours of the creeks. Smaller bodies of water, including Schwinegar Lake and the Lake of the Woods, are scattered across the timbered ridges, illustrating the complex topography of the Pioneer Mountains.
