About this map

Beaverhead National Forest dominates this high-elevation mountain terrain, defined by a complex drainage system and specialized backcountry access routes. The landscape is characterized by a network of named trails, including the Pioneer Recreation Loop Pack Trail and various other pack trails that connect remote landmarks. Notable high points like Alder Peak, Lost Horse Mountain, and Shaw Mountain overlook deep basins where Pattengail Creek, Stone Creek, and Dicks Creek originate.

Local landmarks provide evidence of early wilderness management and recreation, such as Kelley Cabin and Bible Camp Park. The presence of Stone Lakes and Alder Creek Meadows indicates the diverse subalpine environments preserved here. This survey highlights the intricate hydrology of the region, tracing numerous spring-fed tributaries like Whiskey Creek and Copper Creek through narrow valleys and open areas like Fox Park.
