About this map

The high-elevation basin of Georgetown and the adjacent Silver Lake anchor this topographic study of the Flint Creek Range. Situated along the boundary of Anaconda-Deer Lodge County and Granite County, the landscape is defined by the headwaters of the N Fork Flint Cr and the extensive acreage of the Deerlodge National Forest. Significant local peaks like Cable Mtn and Welcome Hill overlook a network of specialized mountain roads, including the Southern Cross Rd and Cable Mountain Rd, which trace the legacy of early mining and timber access in the region.

Water management and natural drainage patterns are prominent, with Hidden Lake and Daly Lake feeding into the intricate gulch systems of Clay Charlie Gulch and Logger Gulch. The settlement at Yankee Flat and the surrounding road network, including Yankee Flats Rd and Old State Hwy 10, indicate the importance of this corridor for travel and small-scale habitation between the steeper ridges of the Continental Divide.
