2017 Map of Silver King Mountain

About this map

Silver King Mountain dominates the northeast corner of this high-country landscape within the Helena National Forest. The map documents a rugged drainage system defined by the Landers Fork and its various tributaries, such as Indian Meadows Cr and Snowbank Cr. Local habitation and aviation appear at the Nelson Ranch Airport, while several alpine lakes including Krohn Lake, Silver King Lake, and the Keep Cool Lakes are scattered throughout the mountainous terrain. The presence of named landmarks like Indian Meadows and McDonald Meadow suggest a history of seasonal grazing or early backcountry outposts. Transportation is limited to primitive forest routes such as Copper Creek Rd, Sucker Creek Rd, and the uniquely named Brittany Blvd, which serve the remote peaks of the Lewis and Clark Range.
