2014 Map of Silver King Mountain

About this map

The Lewis and Clark Range dominates this portion of the Helena National Forest, where the landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Alice Mountains and Silver King Mtn. This area serves as a significant drainage basin for the Landers Fork, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Indian Meadows Cr and Baking Powder Cr. The transition from high alpine terrain to lower elevations is marked by features like Indian Meadows and McDonald Meadow, providing a glimpse into the diverse montane environments of Lewis and Clark County. Human activity in this remote wilderness is evidenced by the Nelson Ranch Airport and a network of forest access roads such as Landers Fork Rd and Sucker Creek Rd. A series of small mountain basins hold Keep Cool Lakes, Snowbank Lake, and Krohn Lake, highlighting the glaciated character of these highlands.
