About this map

Scapegoat Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape along the Continental Divide, where the complex geography of the northern Rockies is mapped in fine detail. The area is defined by the intersection of several significant managed lands, including the Lewis and Clark National Forest, the Scapegoat Wilderness, and the Lolo National Forest. Human presence is sparse, centered on the Green Fork Guard Station and the outpost of Carmichael in the south.

Transport is limited to the Scenic Trail and other footpaths that navigate between prominent peaks such as Halfmoon Peak and Evans Peak. The map illustrates a network of steep drainages, including Amphitheater Creek and the North Fork Blackfoot River, which flow from the high ridges of the Tobacco Valley and the Straight Creek Pass. The inclusion of the Sun River Game Preserve Boundary highlights the region's historical and ongoing importance for wildlife conservation.
