2020 Map of Paul Reservoir

About this map

The Beaverhead Mountains and the winding Continental Divide define this high-altitude landscape along the Montana-Idaho border. The 2020 terrain is dominated by the vast Targhee National Forest, where a complex network of drainages such as Modoc Cr and Stoddard Creek flow through deep ravines like Thunder Gulch and Brooks Canyon. Human infrastructure is sparse, characterized by high-country transit routes including the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and the appropriately named Skyline Road. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the namesake Paul Reservoir, which collects runoff from the surrounding peaks. This survey captures a remote wilderness area where local geography is marked by descriptive landmarks like Lone Pine Spring, Swampy Draw, and the broad open space of Pleasant Valley.
