2020 Map of Shaw Mountain

About this map

Beaverhead National Forest covers much of this high-elevation landscape in southwest Montana, where intricate drainage systems like Pettengill Creek and Stone Creek carve through the mountain terrain. Notable landmarks such as Shaw Mountain and Alder Peak dominate the skyline, providing the literal backdrop for localized gathering points like Bible Camp Park and Fox Park. The presence of Stone Lakes and Alder Creek Meadows suggests a landscape of seasonal water and alpine clearing, while unique place names like Jerked Prairie reflect the vernacular history of the region. The map’s detailed record of minor tributaries, including Demijohn Creek, Whiskey Creek, and Toland Creek, offers an essential reference for understanding the hydrological patterns and land use within these forest boundaries.
