2020 Map of Pony

About this map

Pony sits at the eastern edge of the Tobacco Root Mountains, where the high alpine terrain of the Beaverhead National Forest meets the valley floor. This 2020 survey details a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Queens Hill and Strawberry Ridge down to the drainage of the S Boulder River. The settlement pattern is concentrated near the historic townsite, while the surrounding backcountry is accessed via narrow routes like Pony Creek Rd and Potosi Rd. High-altitude water bodies such as Cataract Lake and Mason Lake are mapped within the national forest boundaries, showing the hydrological sources for the various gulches and canyons that carve through the range, including Carmichael Canyon and Brownback Gulch. For those tracing local roots, the Pony Cem is clearly marked just outside the main residential cluster.
