2017 Map of Scott Peak

About this map

The Continental Divide defines the spine of this high-elevation landscape, where the Beaverhead Mountains straddle the jurisdictional boundary between Montana and Idaho. Dominating the central heights is Scott Peak, flanked by Webber Peak and the rugged drainage of Scott Canyon. This 2017 survey details a remote wilderness managed within the Beaverhead National Forest and Targhee National Forest. The map documents a complex system of canyons and ridges, including the deep cuts of Nicholia Canyon and Indian Head Canyon. Significant topographical markers like Italian Peak on the northern border and Heart Mtn to the east provide essential reference points for navigating this high-country terrain. Natural watercourses such as Deadman Cr and Crooked Cr carve through the mountain slopes, illustrating the hydrology of the upper basins near Slate Basin.
