About this map

Pony sits at the eastern edge of this 2014 survey, where the high peaks of the Deerlodge National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest meet the valley floor. This mountain landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, rising from the settlement up toward Strawberry Ridge and Windy Pass. Drainage patterns from the high country are clear, with Pony Cr, Cataract Cr, and Magpie Cr carving deep canyons and gulches as they flow toward the east. High-altitude water bodies like Cataract Lake and Mason Lake are mapped in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.

Industrial and local history are reflected in the transport network, including Pony Creek Rd and Cataract Rd which follow the natural watercourses into the timberlands. To the north, the terrain transitions toward East Butte and Carmichael Canyon, while S Boulder River defines the northwestern corner of the map. These landmarks provide a detailed look at the geographic interface between Madison County's ranching valleys and its timbered wilderness peaks.
