About this map

Lakeview sits on the northern edge of this high-elevation terrain, where the northern slopes of the Eastern Centennial Mountains meet the valley floor. This 2014 survey documents the rugged intersection of the Continental Divide and the border between Montana and Idaho. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Targhee National Forest and high peaks such as Baldy Mtn and Slide Mtn. These features define the watershed for numerous creeks like Matsingale Cr, Duff Cr, and Odell Cr that drain toward Lower Red Rock Lake and Upper Red Rock Lake.

Remote trails, including the Sparrow Pond Trail and Odell Trail, provide the primary access through these steep elevations. The map preserves the exact alignment of the Beaverhead Co Clark Co line as it follows the ridge of the divide, offering a detailed view of the natural boundaries that separate these western states. For those interested in the hydrology of the region, the placement of high-mountain bodies like Hancock Lake relative to the drainage of Shambow Cr and Humphry Cr provides essential topographical context.
