2017 Map of Pretty Prairie

About this map

Pretty Prairie sits at the heart of this backcountry landscape, situated within the vast expanse of the Lewis & Clark National Forest. The hydrology of this high-elevation region is defined by the South Fork Sun River and its major tributary, the West Fork South Fork Sun River. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of mountain drainages, including Wapiti Cr, Windfall Cr, and Goat Cr, which carve through the slopes near Deadman Hill. This 2017 survey reflects a wilderness area where natural landmarks and watercourses dominate the map, with features like Bear Lake in the northwest corner serving as primary points of orientation. The lack of modern infrastructure highlights the preserved nature of the upper Sun River drainage, providing a clear look at the topographic relief and primitive waterways that have defined this portion of Lewis and Clark County for generations.
