About this map

Sawtell Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape along the Continental Divide, where the borders of Idaho and Montana meet. The rugged terrain transitions from the deep Rock Creek Basin and Hell Roaring Canyon in the west toward the broad waters of Henrys Lake in the northeast. This 2013 survey captures a region primarily defined by federal land management, split between Targhee National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest.

Notable landmarks like Arange Peak and the Eastern Centennial Mountains provide a backdrop for a network of drainage systems including Yale Cr, Duck Cr, and Rock Cr. Cultural imprints are largely restricted to the mountain access corridors, such as Sawtell Peak Rd and Bootjack Pass Rd, and the flatlands of Henrys Lake Flat near the state park. The map serves as a precise record of this high-country drainage divide before modern shifts in alpine recreation and forest management.
