2014 Map of Selway Mountain

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest contains the high-elevation terrain of this southwest Montana landscape, where the Big Hole River and its numerous tributaries dominate the hydrology. The map reveals a complex network of forest access routes like Skinner Meadows Rd and Bloody Dick Rd that navigate the high peaks and basins. Significant summits such as Selway Mtn and Black Mtn stand as primary landmarks above the alpine valleys. Water is the defining characteristic of the area, evidenced by the presence of Van Houten Lake, Reservoir Lake, and the smaller Mud Lake. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Saginaw Cr and Englebaugh Cr cutting through the slopes of the Selway Mtn range. This survey provides an essential look at the modern forest infrastructure and natural topography of the region, emphasizing the remote nature of the Continental Divide backcountry.
