About this map

Scapegoat Mtn and the surrounding Lewis and Clark Range dominate this high-elevation wilderness where the Lewis & Clark National Forest meets the Lolo National Forest. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, with headwaters like the Dearborn River, the S Fork Sun River, and the N Fork Blackfoot River carving through the terrain. Human passage is marked primarily by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, which traverses the northeast, and the Dearborn-Cave Cr Cutoff trail further south.

Notable landmarks such as Halfmoon Peak, Red Slide Mtn, and Evans Peak provide verticality to a region characterized by remote meadows and narrow valleys like McDonnell Meadow and Tobacco Valley. For researchers, the map details the precise topography of Straight Creek Pass and named water features such as Cigarette Cr and Lost Cabin Cr, illustrating the hydrographic network of this protected Montana interior.
