2017 Map of Pony

About this map

Pony sits at the foot of the Tobacco Root Mountains, serving as a gateway to high-altitude drainages and public lands. This 2017 survey details the complex geography where Deerlodge National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest meet. The landscape is defined by steep elevation changes, rising from the settlement toward prominent heights like Queens Hill and East Butte. To the west and south, the terrain becomes increasingly alpine, marked by Windy Pass and the waters of Cataract Lake and Mason Lake. The map documents the local road network connecting these mountain slopes, including Pony Rd and Carmichael Cr Rd, which follow the natural contours of canyons and gulches. The Pony Cem remains a quiet landmark on the eastern edge of the community, while the S Boulder River and numerous creeks like Antelope Cr drain the surrounding ridges.
