2020 Map of Silver King Mountain

About this map

Silver King Mtn and the Alice Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Helena National Forest, where a complex network of pack trails and forest roads serves the drainage basins of the Landers Fork and Copper Creek. The map reveals a high-country economy focused on recreation and ranching, evidenced by the presence of the Nelson Ranch Airport and large open areas like Indian Meadows and McDonald Meadow. Water is central to the topography here, with numerous high-mountain basins holding features such as Silver King Lake, Snowbank Lake, and the series of Keep Cool Lakes. Long-established routes like the Landers Fork Trail and Lone Mountain Trail track the ridges and valleys, illustrating the historic transit patterns through this part of Lewis and Clark County.
