2024 Map of Spur Mountain

About this map

The Snowcrest Range dominates this portion of Beaverhead National Forest, forming a high divide that separates the headwaters of the West Fork Ruby River and the Ruby River from the drainages to the west. This mountainous terrain is defined by prominent peaks such as Spur Mtn, Sliderock Mtn, and Hogback Mtn, with Ledford Pass and The Notch providing natural corridors through the high country. Numerous alpine water sources originate here, including Ledford Creek and Little Rock Creek, while the secluded Yellow Bear Lake sits tucked into the western slopes. The map reveals a landscape managed for conservation and wilderness, where the complex drainage patterns of Spring Creek, Bear Creek, and Timber Creek illustrate the source of the region's vital water systems.
