2017 Map of Spur Mountain

About this map

The Snowcrest Range dominates this portion of the Beaverhead National Forest, forming a high-elevation divide where peaks like Spur Mountain and Sliderock Mtn rise above the drainage basins. Water flows from these heights through a network of creeks including Ledford Cr and Lone Rock Cr, eventually feeding the W Fork Ruby River and the main Ruby River in the southern reaches. This 2017 survey reflects a landscape defined by its hydrography and terrain rather than human settlement, with primitive access points like Ledford Creek Rd and Spring Bear Creek providing the few markers of passage. The presence of Yellow Bear Lake and the high Ledford Pass indicates the remote, alpine character of this Madison County territory, where natural boundaries and township lines provide the primary structure for the land.
