About this map

Beaverhead National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Madison County, where steep drainages and mountain peaks define the terrain. The topography is anchored by Ramshorn Mtn, South Baldy Mtn, and Ward Peak, with a complex network of glacial lakes including Cliff Lake, McKelvey Lake, and South Meadow Creek Lake concentrated in the north-central section.

Evidence of local water management and access is found in the lower elevations, where Mill Gulch Rd and Granite Creek Rd trace the paths of numerous alpine forks. Notable water sources like Mill Gulch Spring and the headwaters of W Fork Granite Cr suggest the importance of these drainages for the surrounding region. The detailed contouring reveals the sharp relief of landmarks such as Belle Point and Porphyry Mtn, illustrating the high-country character of this part of the Tobacco Root Mountains.
