About this map

Beaverhead National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape in southwest Montana, where a dense network of water bodies and trails reflects the region's ranching and mining legacy. The terrain is marked by significant peaks like Bobcat Mountain and the broad plateau of Table Mountain, while the presence of Anderson Meadows Cow Camp indicates the historical use of high-country basins for seasonal grazing.

Evidence of mineral exploration is visible near Schweinegar Lake, where Mines and a Prospect are noted. The area is heavily dissected by drainage systems, including Lacy Creek and Odell Creek, which flow through expansive flats such as Jerked Prairie and Odell Meadows. A series of interconnected routes, including the Pack Trail, provide the primary means of navigating the alpine basins holding Odell Lake and Lake of the Woods.
